HELLO, WELCOME TO SESAME!

"Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support for Mental Health"

So what is SESAME?

SESAME (Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support for Mental Health) is a three-tiered system of support designed to create a safe learning environment for the whole school, in order to prevent the development of internalizing psychosocial disorders in students. SESAME is characterized in particular by the fact that evidence-based methods for assessment and intervention at different support tiers are linked together. The intensity of assessment and intervention depends on the needs of the students.

OUR GOALS

We develop a culturally sensitive and technologically advanced adaptation of SW-PBS for secondary schools in various European contexts.

We develop an innovative training pathway for educational professionals in inclusive schools based on SW-PBS.

We develop a SESAME-APP for the successful implementation of SW-PBS methods.

We implement and pilot the SESAME model in secondary schools.

OUR VISION

By implementing the SESAME model, we expect improvements on the following levels:

1

We seek to improve school 
climate and digitalization.

2
