Students and Parents
Antidote helps shape schools where children and young people are happy and achieve their potential.

Antidote’s research shows that there does not need to be a contradiction between children being happy and children doing well at school.

In fact, children learn better and develop more positive attitudes when their schools are run in ways that make them feel:
  • I’m OK
  • Comfortable
  • Calm
  • Brilliant
  • Warm
By working with Antidote, your school can ensure that all children enjoy coming to school and make the most of the opportunities available to them there.

Benefits
  • Lots of energy for learning and creative thinking
  • Getting on well with friends and other students
  • A sense of belonging to the school community
  • Finding the things you are good at and doing really well

What students say:

“Everyone sort of got everything off their chest and then people could acknowledge that was how they were feeling, and they could take that on board and try to change themselves. And all of the class actually did do that, which is why things changed. I think people actually listened.”

“Working with Antidote was fun and helped me to think about myself and share my feelings.”

“If they listen to us, we can change some of the bad things.”
