Today is @mind.org.uk #TimeToTalkDay Being honest and talking about difficult things is tough! But it's also the first step towards getting the support you need. Talking also reduces the stigma around seeking support! If you or someone you care about needs support, visit mind.org.uk/TimeToTalkDay

When young people get the right support, parents feel the difference too! 🫶 For Stem4's Parent Mental Health Day 2026, we’re sharing some of the changes caregivers told us they’ve seen since their child attended the ReSET programme. 📣 #ParentMentalHealthDay #PMHD #PMHD2026

Happy New Year from the ReSET Team!✨⭐ We hope that you see the year out in style - whether that's celebrating with family, partying with friends or relaxing at home watching some good TV!🥂

On the 1st Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 1 Amazing Project 🌈🎁 ReSET is more than a study - it’s a collaborative effort of researchers, schools, teachers, students, caregivers, and clinicians. Here’s to the journey and promising results so far - and what’s still to come!! #12DaysofReSET

Happy Holidays from the ReSET Team!🎄❄️ We hope you have a festive period filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of celebrations. ReSET has enjoyed the festivities - decorating our office, filming holiday related content, festive lunches, and office christmas party. 🥂

On the 2nd Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 2 Professors had an idea 💡🎓 It all started with a conversation between Professors Essi Viding and Pasco Fearon. They saw the growing need for adolescent mental health support, and imagined a school-based, preventative, transdiagnostic intervention.

On the 3rd Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 3 Assessment Timepoints 🧠📈 We tracked our participants over 2-3 years, checking in on their wellbeing, peer relationships, and social-emotional development.

On the 4th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 4 Years Running 🕰️📆 From 2021 to 2025, ReSET’s been on the move - designing, delivering, evaluating and reflecting. Now we’re in the final stretch: analysing results, writing up findings, and sharing what we’ve learned!

On the 5th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 560 Participants 👨👩👧👦🎉 We aimed for 540... and smashed it. Across 28 groups, over 560 young people took part in ReSET — split almost evenly between intervention and control.

On the 6th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 6 Publications (so far!) 📚🖋️ Even with all the busyness of the last 4 years, we still managed to publish! 💪 From evaluations of the feasibility study to development insights, ReSET’s made its mark in academic journals - and we’re not done yet!

On the 7th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 7 South-East Councils 🗺️📍 ReSET's gone nation-wide! While the majority of our groups ran within Central London and surrounding boroughs, we also travelled as far as Kent - visits to each school ranging from 11 to well over 100 times!🏃

On the 8th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 8 Week Intervention 📆 Those allocated to the intervention arm were invited to attend the 8 week intervention. Consisting of a session a week, focusing on developing skills for emotional processing & relational skills.

🔥Team Spotlight🔥 Another ReSET Co-PI who needs no introduction Prof. Pasco Fearon is Director of the Centre for Child, Adolescent and Family Research and a world-leading developmental and clinical psychologist researching child development and mental health.🧠
