The ‘Better Learning Programme’ and the Right to Wellbeing
The BLP focuses on improving children/youth's learning capacity by integrating techniques for coping with traumatic stress into daily teaching and learning, and encouraging pupils’ natural recovery. BLP consists of three components of programme intervention: the first is a general, classroom-based psychosocial support (PSS) approach targeting all children and young people (BLP1); the second is a small group intervention to support resilience amongst a more specific target group of academic under-achievers (BLP2) and the third is a specialized PSS approach to address nightmares, which many children experience as a chronic symptom of traumatic stress (BLP3).
