On the 2nd Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 2 Professors had an idea 💡🎓
It all started with a conversation between Professors Essi Viding and Pasco Fearon. They saw the growing need for adolescent mental health support, and imagined a school-based, preventative, transdiagnostic intervention.
