Four Steps To My Future (4STMF): acceptability, feasibility and exploratory outcomes of a universal school-based mental health and well-being programme, delivered to young adolescents in South Africa.

This pilot study has shown that 4STMF can acceptably and feasibly be delivered, at classroom level, as a universal school-based prevention programme to young adolescent learners in South African primary schools. The programme could fit in with school context, could be delivered by nonspecialists, showed significant improvements on self-esteem and emotion regulation and was liked by the learners.
