Research Collaboration Opportunity For Schools and Families

We need you to be a collaborator with us, Massey University, New Zealand Red Cross on the The Worry Bug Project.
Since 2015 Massey University, under the leadership of Benita Stiles-Smith, has been conducting research on The Worry Bug Project.  Over this time the researchers have been looking at the efficacy of the project, best practice for uptake of community resources and the use of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
 tool for classroom assessment.

Contribute to disaster recovery research. With the many natural disasters that are occurring in New Zealand and globally, this research may inform how agencies and the government work with families and schools in future situations.
 
Schools, Early Childhood Education centres and families will be given the opportunity to opt-in to participating in the research in 2019.  Please consider participating and look out for more information about being a part of it.

This term we will be using resources from The Worry Bug Project. The children will be gifted a book to bring home and keep. The books have been used extensively throughout Canterbury and surrounding areas and are supported by research being conducted by Massey University. In the back of the books you will find notes for families to support the story. Schools, Early Childhood Education centres and families will be given the opportunity to opt-in to participating in the research during 2019.  Please consider participating and look out for more information about being a part of this valuable research.
