Abstract
A program fostering social and emotional skills in hundreds of Australian primary schools could improve students’ focus and their ability to find calm when worried, new research indicates.
It is estimated that half of all mental illnesses experienced by adults emerge before the age of 14, with a recent Australian finding that 1 in 7 children and adolescents had experienced a mental illness in the previous year.
