What this trial studies
This project uses a before-and-after design with a control group to see if the Feel Good life skills program improves school climate and student well-being. It targets children in CM1/CM2 (4th and 5th grade) in French schools and involves co-design with educators and stakeholders. The study will look at feasibility, reach, satisfaction, and practical recommendations for implementation. Data will be collected before and after the program, with comparisons to a control group when possible. The approach emphasizes real-world education settings and pragmatic outcomes.
