In 2015, Berry Street partnered with two Victorian Government schools to pilot the Berry Street Education Model in mainstream classes. This pilot was evaluated by The University of Melbourne Youth Research Centre. The evaluation identified links to academic improvement, increased student engagement and better teacher-student relationships.
