Pilot Studies
In the UK, Creative Relaxation has been promoted by the children’s charity, The Girasol Foundation (”Girasol”), since 2007. It has been piloted in over 50 primary schools in Redbridge, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire and over 150 school staff and hundreds of children have been trained in the technique.
In two independent studies carried out by educational psychologists at Redbridge Local Authority, involving 49 staff from 22 schools, levels of depression were reduced by 50% and anxiety was also significantly reduced.The results of these independent studies, as well as other pilots can be downloaded below:
