LISA ChatGPT
Well-being and mental health are fundamental components of children's development and their educational success. Yet, more than one in four children face challenges such as neurodevelopmental and learning disorders (like Specific Learning Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, etc.), mood disorders (like anxiety, depression), or emotional and behavioral disorders.
In the absence of detection and intervention, these challenges often lead to severe consequences for the child and those around them: lack of interest, dropping out, bullying, violence, suicidal actions...
The LISA research-action program provides educational stakeholders with tools to identify, understand, and collaborate, to support each child, both in and outside of school, based on their strengths and needs. Co-constructed by teachers, families, researchers, clinicians, and other educational actors, LISA develops a community, a training program, and a digital platform.
LISA is originally developed and prototyped in France, initiated by iféa, a network of innovative schools, and the Learning Planet Institute. LISA is developed Under the supervision of its scientific committee, including Ariel B. Lindner, Bennett L. Leventhal, Richard Delorme, Bruno Falissard, Caroline Huron, Yasser Kazhaal, and others; a dedicated team including Anirudh Krishnakumar, Naima Page, Kseniia Konischeva, Arno Klein, and others; and key partner institutions including the Child Mind Institute, INSERM U1284, CléPsy, and the Robert Debré Hospital in Paris.
The project has received support from the French government to be deployed in 200 schools within the Académie de Créteil, Académie de Paris, Académie de Versaille, and the Mission laïque française.
LISA aims to provide stakeholders in the education of children and adolescents with evidence-based, actionable, and accessible training and guidance in the process of identifying and supporting their unique strengths and needs. As part of this effort, LISA is building a database of resources, Lisapedia.
While all Lisapedia content will be carefully written, reviewed, and validate by a scientific and editorial committee, this page represents a technological proof of concept of combining structured knowledge from field experts with generative AI to draft content, which can then be reviewed and edited by experts.

2. Evidence-Based Strategies to Support the Child
Strategy | Description and Efficiency | Implementation Steps | Parameters to Monitor |
---|---|---|---|
Structure and Routine | Providing a routine reduces uncertainty. When a child knows what to expect, it lowers anxiety. | Create a daily routine for your child. Make sure it includes time for relaxation and fun. | Monitor the child's comfort with the routine. Adjust timings and activities based on the child's feedback and observation. |
Mindfulness Practices | Mindfulness helps a child to focus on the present rather than worrying about the future. This has been proven to reduce anxiety signs. | Implement mindfulness practices such as deep breathing and meditation. Introduce them as fun activities, like "pretend you're a tree" while teaching deep breathing. | Watch for improvements in the child's ability to concentrate, sleep better, and overall mood enhancement. |
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT) | CBT gives children tools to manage their worries. It helps them understand how their thoughts and feelings affect their behavior. | Introduce simple perceptions vs. reality scenarios to help them understand. Use a therapist if needed. | Notice if the child starts recognizing when they are unnecessarily worrying and uses the tools to manage it. |
Expressive Arts Therapies | Art, drama or movement help children express their worries in a non-verbal way, which can provide relief. | Incorporate art or drama activities into daily routine which allow your child to express feelings. | Look for reduction in child's stress levels and improved ability to express feelings. |
3. Do and Don'ts
Do's | Don'ts |
---|---|
Do validate your child's feelings | Don't dismiss or diminish their worries |
Do keep communication open about their worries | Don't overreact, it may increase anxiety |
