What makes Togetherness different?
Togetherness is built on a robust research foundation that ensures its effectiveness in educational settings:
Grounded in psychological and psychoanalytic theory
Togetherness is a recognised NHS programme rooted in research on childhood development, helping teachers understand how emotional wellbeing and secure relationships impact learning.
Proven impact on behaviour and wellbeing
Studies show that the Approach enhances prosocial behaviours (cooperation, empathy, respect) and reduces stress and anxiety — not just in families but also in classroom settings. By equipping staff with strategies to recognise emotional triggers and respond effectively, schools can improve both staff wellbeing and student emotional resilience.
Validated by leading experts and research bodies
Rigorously tested throughout its 30-year history, including a randomised controlled trial (RCT) confirming its effectiveness, recognition by Foundations – What Works Centre for Children & Families reinforces our credibility as a trusted approach.
