Does it work?
A peer-reviewed, large-scale, randomized control trial (RCT) found that just 3 Terms (18 lessons) of Connect significantly improves children’s wellbeing. You’ll find very few wellbeing curriculums in the world able to make such a statement.

We are whole-heartedly dedicated to making Connect better and better. How do we do that? By using formal research to improve what we offer.

Do teachers like to deliver it?
We also understand that the most effective curriculum in the world would have no impact if it was not acceptable to those delivering it. In other words, it is important to us that teachers like to deliver Connect lessons.
A peer-reviewed qualitative study, published in Pastoral Care and Education asked teachers what they thought, with super positive findings. Click the button below to see that piece of research.
Research article“I found everything to like about the Connect Curriculum. It is evidence informed, positive, values driven and a rich, detailed, and teacher friendly resource that has been carefully crafted to fit in with the latest guidance."
“The model provides clear language for the children to express their thoughts clearly and the interactive approach has been extremely inclusive and engaging."
“It has been inspiring to see the children developing a clear sense of their world and how they can better manage their thoughts, feelings, happiness and contribution to their community."
“The lesson plans were clear and simple to follow and had bright and engaging visuals to compliment the lesson. I can see that these lesson plans could free up a lot of teacher time and reduce stress, enabling them to prepare for the lesson in less time and spend quality time with the students in the class during the lessons."
"We’ve been using Connect with children on an individual level in our clinic and I highly recommend it. It has great lesson plans, training videos and lots of other useful resources."
“The children have really enjoyed learning about DNA-V. Many express how they find it useful and I have heard them applying it in other lessons like fitness training."
“As a psychologist, a researcher, and a mother, I feel so grateful, thankful, and appreciative of this rigorous, well thought-out, structured, data-based and powerful program."
“We are loving Connect in our school and have seen a positive improvement within the children’s wellbeing which has been amazing to see and to foster”
