The Thrive Programme Research
Warning: Nerdy Academic Stuff Below!
The Thrive Programme is evidence-based, meaning it was developed – and continues to be updated – based upon the latest research studies into mental health, resilience and wellbeing, as well as our own clinical practice. Every component of The Thrive Programme is tested and researched thoroughly. We spend a significant amount of time both running research surveys and studying research papers. Below you'll find links to our two main surveys and just some of the thousands of papers we found useful when creating the various Thrive Programme Workbooks.
