Our Impact

The Skills for Life programmes have been independently evaluated in six countries, showing positive impact on children’s behaviour and social-emotional skills through rigorous research and controlled studies.

Our programmes have already given vital coping skills to 2.8 million children and have been run in over 30 countries around the world.

We know our programmes work because of the feedback we get from children, teachers and parents, and from independent scientific evaluation. Explore the links below to find out what people say about our programmes, and the proof that they are effective.
