Could ten classroom sessions build stronger, happier kids?
NCT ID NCT07804940
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
Researchers are testing whether a program called Feel Good, which uses ten playful classroom sessions, can help children in grades 4 and 5 build life skills like empathy and self-awareness. The goal is to see if these skills improve the school climate and children's well-being. About 1,500 children will take part, with some schools using the program and others not, so the researchers can compare outcomes. The study also looks at how well the program works in real schools and what it takes to put it into practice.
