The 4 pillars informing the Thrive Approach
Thrive has been developed over the past 25 years, with its architects drawing from a wealth of research and experience in social work, psychotherapy and education.
Combining their collective knowledge and experience, our founders developed a social and emotional development model that looked at children and young people's needs and provided responses and activities to engage them with life and learning.
