Accredited Training for School Staff:

Mindful and wellbeing strategies can help to reduce anxiety, improve social skills, increase awareness and attention and also give young people an understanding of their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
The current training course will give you the resource to deliver a 9-moduled Mindful and Wellbeing course to pupils in Year 5 and 6 either as a whole class, small groups or 1:1, or Year 7 and 8 as a supportive intervention in small groups or 1:1.
