Answer:

‘FRIENDS for Life’ is a school-based positive mental health programme that promotes

emotional resilience and reduces anxiety in children and adolescents. It is the only anxiety

prevention programme acknowledged by the World Health Organization for its 12 years of

comprehensive evaluation and practice (WHO, 2004). This research project set out to

explore if ‘FRIENDS for Life’ could be successful in reducing anxiety levels with young

people in Irish post-primary schools.

The findings from the research project demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety

levels following the ‘FRIENDS for Life’ programme. Positive gains in young people’s

emotional wellbeing, reported in previous Irish and international research, were confirmed

by students and their parents in both universal and small group settings in post-primary

schools geographically distributed across the Republic of Ireland.

Before the programme, 18.8% of the 244 students who participated in the project rated

themselves within the ‘elevated’ anxiety level (1 in every 5.3 students). This reduced to

10.2% of students (1 in every 9.8 students) following completion of the ‘FRIENDS for Life’

10 session programme. Continued improvement has been recorded following completion

of the two booster sessions four months later.

The qualitative and quantitative findings from the Teachers’ Reviews and the Fidelity

Checklists give further weight to these results. Twenty seven teachers representing the

fourteen project schools completed a Teachers’ Review following completion of the ten

session programme and all reported positive developments in the students including

improved self-confidence, an increased willingness to speak about feelings and becoming

more settled in school. Equally teachers stated that the programme had helped to

normalise feelings of anxiety for the students.

Although more time for preparation and delivery and the need to adapt and supplement

content emerged as the two common themes in the teachers’ Fidelity Checklists for

improving the implementation of the ‘FRIENDS for Life’ programme in the future, this did

not distract from the progress made with students on those activities that were the focus

of the sessions. While most of the teachers revealed that they experienced the ‘time’ and

‘content’ challenges in delivering the programme, the majority had enjoyed teaching the

‘FRIENDS for Life’ programme to their students. All teachers in the Teachers’ Review

stated that they would recommend the programme to other teachers and schools.
