About RAD

Recognize Accept Do!

RAD (Recognize, Accept, Do) is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum for young people. It is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

 

The program is easy to follow and can be used individually or in a group. The concepts are easy to grasp and no prior knowledge is needed.

 

RAD is a universal SEL resource that is designed to promote overall well-being, as opposed to addressing specific mental health conditions. Clinicians may choose to use RAD in a therapeutic setting for specific applications, but RAD is not targeted to these environments. Rather, RAD is for everyone.

 

Rooted in behavioral science, RAD’s approach is flexible and effective for both those with and without mental health disorders, making it a valuable tool for improving overall mental health outcomes. In addition, RAD is focussed on helping youth do the things that matter to them that will  improve their quality of life.

Why RAD?

1

Science-Backed

Rooted in evidence-based methods (ACT + SEL), RAD teaches real emotional and cognitive skills—not feel-good fluff or generic advice.

2

Ready to Use

Each module comes with videos, activities, and scripts, so you can start immediately without planning, training, or prep work.

3

Skills That Stick

RAD helps youth build practical habits—emotional regulation, values, decision-making—that last far beyond the program itself.

RAD for Life offers educational resources and consulting services aimed at creating effective learning environments. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life and improve outcomes for children and youth.

Please note: RAD is not a replacement for professional therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, it's important to seek advice from a trusted mental health professional. RAD is a resource to complement, not replace, professional care.
