Definitely grew! Passion builds in the doing. It’s not like we feel a deep passion right at the outset of a journey. Rather, the more we do the more committed we get. That’s been my experience. That understanding helps as it means it’s ok not to be sure early on. Just try stuff & see what sticks.

In my experience having a profound sense of purpose related to making the world a better place for the communities I serve has, in turn, benefited me. This sense of purpose makes life feel worthwhile. And, of course, what I’m describing here coheres well with a eudemonic understanding of wellbeing.

Was delightful! Thanks for the invite 😊

Thanks Ray 🤗

PS what is your take on the Good Behaviour Game as a universal school wellbeing intervention. My read is that’s got a strong research base with 50+ studies, several with control groups and one even having 25yr later longitudinal data showing gains relative to control.

…highly with measures of general psych wellbeing. That’s the 6 ways to wellbeing. We’ve done our best to build the program based on the best science of wellbeing we can surmise from the empirical lit’. So let’s see. The data is always your friend, even when it’s telling you hard stuff imo.

We are committed to bigger studies but wait list controls and and/or other (non Connect) comparison groups but securing funding bids has been hard so far, even with this study under our belts. What we know is that Connect targets patterns of behaviour know in 1000s of studies to correlate …

All good points and yes do t have to agree. This is a safe space for debate and learning, from my PoV. You are right. We have comparison group but not control. Having wait list controls in RCTs in schools is so tough though. Schools want support and they want it now and often not up for waiting.
