Mental Health

We believe mental health and wellness is a core foundation for a child and teacher’s success. That’s why we offer mental health awareness courses for both pupils and teachers. Our aim is always to improve and support the mental health of everyone we encounter.

For pupils…

Our programmes introduce mental health to every primary-aged child. Delivered as fun, engaging courses or bespoke topic days, they help children understand mental health, their own feelings, and the feelings of others.

Wellbeing Champions

Covering happiness and mood, the Five Ways to Wellbeing, mental health conditions, and how we can support ourselves and others.

Game Changers

Builds resilience and helps children work through big emotions in a safe, practical way.

Andy’s management of the class is excellent. He makes sure all pupils are engaged, developing strong, respectful relationships with the class where he understands their personalities, needs, likes, and dislikes and tailors his sessions accordingly. The activities are thought provoking and when I speak to pupils afterwards, they can talk with confidence and enthusiasm about what they have learnt and how they will attempt to do things differently in their wider life.  The children all speak incredibly positively about the sessions and we feel very privileged to have such an expert in this field working within our schools
