What happened with you and your class?

As a teacher, you played an important role in the study. Your assessment was an important part of getting a full picture of the participating pupils.

After randomly selecting eight interested children per class, with their parents' consent, we came to your school to carry out various questionnaires, performance tests and a clinical interview with these pupils. The children answered age-appropriate questions about their feelings and behavior, and completed reading, spelling and mathematics tasks to determine their level of learning.

As a teacher, you were then asked to complete digital questionnaires giving your assessment of the feelings and behavior of the participating pupils. Your feedback helped to gain a better understanding of possible mental health issues.

In addition, you will soon have the opportunity to participate in further training. This will include both online and face-to-face modules and will provide practical strategies for early identification and support of pupils with internalizing symptoms.
