What are the Long Term Impacts

Research from Thrive suggests:

Thrive closes the gap for vulnerable children across a range of measures including attainment, behaviour, relationships, self-confidence and attendance. (Rose, McGuire-Snieckus, Wood (2015). Independent Impact Report. Bath: Bath Spa University).

Thrive helps to develop resilience in young people. (Hart A, Heaver B (2015). Resilience Approaches to Supporting Young People’s Mental Health: Appraising the Evidence Base for Schools and Communities. Brighton: University of Brighton/Boingboing.

Staff using the Thrive Approach feel more equipped to manage behaviour and better able to support more vulnerable children. (Office for Public Management (2013). Therapeutic early interventions to prevent school exclusion and truancy: evaluation of three contemporaneous projects. London: Office for Public Management).
