    Science-Backed Success: Brain Thrive by 25 Transforms Student Lives

    A groundbreaking study proves the Brain Thrive by 25 program significantly enhances self-esteem, reduces depression, curbs substance use, and boosts decision-making skills in students—aligning with CASEL's SEL framework.
    Read Executive Summary and Major Findings

    The Brain Thrive by 25 program is a behavioral and brain-based intervention designed to enhance social-emotional learning (SEL) and academic outcomes for middle and high school students. This comprehensive curriculum, structured around 12 adaptable modules, integrates neuroscience and SEL principles to improve decision-making, emotional regulation, and academic success. The program emphasizes teaching students about brain health, the impact of substances, stress management, and positive thinking. This study evaluated the program's efficacy using a pretest-posttest design involving 335 students from six schools across the U.S.

    Findings revealed statistically significant improvements in the treatment group compared to the control group in key areas, including self-esteem, depression, substance use (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs), and brain systems functionality. These outcomes align with CASEL's SEL framework, demonstrating Brain Thrive by 25's effectiveness in fostering self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.

    The curriculum was well-received by educators, offering flexibility to integrate into existing courses. Positive behavioral outcomes highlight the program's potential as a cost-effective, impactful method for embedding prevention strategies into school systems. Limitations of the study included challenges in controlling external factors and a need for additional replication studies.

    Major Findings

    • Improved SEL Outcomes: Students in the treatment group demonstrated higher levels of self-esteem and reduced depression compared to the control group.
    • Substance Use Reduction: Statistically significant decreases in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use (ATOD) were observed in the treatment group.
    • Brain Functionality Gains: Enhanced brain system functionality, including better stress management and decision-making skills, was reported.
    • Alignment with SEL Framework: The program supports CASEL's SEL competencies, including self-awareness, self-management, and responsible decision-making.
    • Flexibility in Delivery: Modules are adaptable, allowing integration into various courses, from health to psychology.
    • Teacher-Friendly Materials: Comprehensive training and resources ensured high fidelity in implementation.
    • Positive Perceptions: Students exposed to the curriculum reported more favorable attitudes and behaviors.
    • Prevention-Focused: The curriculum proactively builds protective factors to mitigate behavioral and mental health risks.
    • Broad Applicability: Schools from diverse geographic and demographic contexts successfully implemented the program.
    • Statistically Significant Results: Multivariate analysis confirmed the program's efficacy with medium effect sizes across key variables.
    • Cost-Effectiveness: The program offers a low-cost, scalable solution for improving SEL and academic outcomes.
    • Limitations Noted: The study acknowledged challenges such as external variables and missing data but maintained strong overall reliability.

      This program is a promising intervention for schools aiming to enhance students' social, emotional, and academic well-being through neuroscience-informed strategies.

    How can this course help young children develop a healthier brain?

    This course provides easy-to-learn brain basics that will promote healthy development and help set kids up for a happier, more successful life.

    What are the key components to having a healthy brain that I can teach my kids?

    Some of the simplest yet most powerful things you can teach your children are to eat nutritious foods, get plenty of sleep, and engage in physical exercise.

    How can I help my kids make good brain healthy decisions?

    Giving children choices helps them learn to make good decisions. For example, would you like carrots or broccoli with dinner? Would you like to have grapes or watermelon with your lunch? Would you like to ride your bicycle or run to the park today? Would you like to read one or two stories before bedtime?

    Choices also lessen the resistance from kids as they feel a sense of control—a huge bonus

    Children learn by example, so being a good role model is the best way for kids to learn about making brain-healthy decisions. Articulating your decision-making process out loud can be helpful. For example, you might say, “I’m craving some chocolate, but I bet my brain would appreciate some pineapple instead, and that will satisfy my sweet tooth as well.”
