This paper presents a multidimensional program designed to enhance wellbeing among upper secondary school students, accompanied by practice guidance for implementation. The authors validate the Wellbeing Profile instrument for Italian students and report on a quasi-experimental trial involving 12 classes that observed small, maintained improvements in selected wellbeing measures at one-month follow-up. The resource is intended for researchers and practitioners interested in school-based wellbeing interventions and their measurement.
