Our Thrive Licensed Practitioners #RippleEffect
For 30 years, Thrive Licensed Practitioners have been creating ripples across early years settings, schools, colleges, and communities.
Helping every child feel proud of who they are and confident stepping into whatever comes next.
“Thrive is empowering. After two years of connection and reassurance, a child once froze by anxiety was able to stay away from home and show empathy to others. Thrive is a journey where impact often reveals itself over time."
Michelle Dunford | Attendance and Inclusion Manager & Thrive Licensed Practitioner for 4 years
Every interaction creates a ripple

“Thrive is a constant reminder about how important it is to know about neuroscience and how children’s brains are developing, especially during the early years. We can almost be like brain surgeons because children’s brains are able to forge new connections and adapt. What we do here really is shaping children’s futures.”

“In my professional opinion, you can’t progress more sophisticated things like phonics, reading and writing if a school is like the Wild West. Thrive’s principles and practices have helped us to identify individual needs and to respond accordingly so that our children feel settled and ready to learn.”

“Thrive training exceeded my expectations and it has brought me huge benefits professionally and personally. It’s been an amazing journey that has completely transformed me. I would advise anyone thinking about starting Thrive training to go for it, for your own mental health and for professional satisfaction.”
Impact of Thrive in one word? Movement. Empowering. Life-changing.
Thrive Licensed Practitioner training
As a Thrive Licensed Practitioner, you’ll be empowered to supercharge your setting’s mental health and wellbeing provision.
Equipped with the knowledge and tools to take the lead on implementing targeted SEMH support, you can expect to see improvements in attendance, behaviour, attainment and staff wellbeing.
Using Thrive-Online, you'll be able to assess pupils’ social and emotional skills, create action plans and measure progress over time.
For those needing extra support, you’ll learn how best to help them develop the skills they’re missing and build positive relationships that make them feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
Thrive Licensed Practitioner training is available through our levy-funded apprenticeships or tailored setting packages.
