A behavioural intervention programme operating in three secondary schools is significantly improving students’ decision-making, self-esteem and ability to avoid trouble, according to a new evaluation, with more than nine in ten participants reporting better choices in their daily lives.

Project RESCUE is helping to reduce behavioural issues among high school students, with participants reporting significant improvements in decision-making, self-esteem and their ability to avoid trouble.

The findings emerged from a recent evaluation of Supreme Counselling for Personal Development’s (SCPD) Project RESCUE programme, which currently serves approximately 593 students from first form to fifth form at St George Secondary School, the Grantley Adams Memorial School and Princess Margaret Secondary School.
