A Pilot version of the Program has been developed, which has been tested in 4 secondary schools and primary schools in
3 cities of Bulgaria (the capital – Sofia, a large city – Burgas and a small city – Lovech).
A total of 258 students from the 3 stages of education (including grades 2, 5, 8 and 10) participated in the preliminary diagnosis and testing of the Program’s prevention and intervention modules. A post-diagnosis (i.e.test-retest) was also carried out after the implementation of the Program, in order to verify the effectiveness of the applied methods from the point of view of students, teachers and school psychologists/pedagogical counselors (among 48 students through a feedback form and among 19 teachers, school psychologists/pedagogical advisors through a questionnaire for expert evaluation). On this basis, an Approved Program was created, incl. methodological and procedural guidelines for its application.
