DNA-V Course for Students — Strengths-Based Skills for Resilience and Positive Decision-Making

A practical framework that helps students understand their thoughts, emotions and choices.

Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Psychology, the DNA-V model guides students to build resilience, emotional awareness and values-based decision-making in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Introduction

Young people manage academic pressures, friendships, identity development and social dynamics. Understanding how they think, feel and respond supports healthier choices and steadier communication.

The DNA-V framework (Discoverer–Noticer–Advisor–Values) teaches students how to navigate their internal experiences and external behaviours. With culturally sensitive activities and inclusive facilitation, the course helps students build confidence, resilience and psychological flexibility.

Designed for diverse school communities, Youth DNA-V empowers students to apply practical wellbeing strategies in daily school life.
