Mental wellbeing in schools is, rightly, a hot topic at the moment. It’s vital we teach young people it's ok to talk about your feelings and provide them with strategies to cope with stress. But it can be hard to know where to start. To make teacher’s lives easier, we’ve designed workshops informed by the science of wellbeing. These are delivered by our expert presenters, who all have a degree in psychology or neuroscience, so they can tackle those tricky questions about emotional wellbeing with confidence.
We've also put together a selection of free resources for PSHE lessons and fantastic mental wellbeing activities for primary schools to get you started in relationships education.
Mental Wellbeing Workshops
Our wellbeing workshops for schools are perfect activities for PSHE lessons. They are highly interactive and engaging, making a potentially challenging subject fun and memorable. We love answering kids questions, encouraging the class to talk about their emotions and sharing tips to boost emotional wellbeing.
Building a Resilient Brain introduces students to the idea of resilience, or ‘bouncebackability’ through a fun, interactive tower-building task. And in Science and Creativity we explore the uniqueness of each of our brains as well as the wellbeing benefits of creative hobbies like mindful colouring. As with all our workshops for schools, we adapt the content for different ages, adding more in-depth discussion of mental health conditions and school stress for KS3.
