Listen together to ‘Happy’ by Nicola Edwards and Katie Hickey

|
A CHILDREN’S BOOK OF MINDFULNESS ‘happy’ is a beautifully illustrated introduction to mindfulness which shows children how they can connect to the world around them. In a society full of stress and pressure it’s often difficult to find time to stop and appreciate our surroundings and the people in our lives. Screen time is increasing, outside play is decreasing and many children now have anxiety and mental health problems. Teaching them mindfulness can help them to slow down, relax and find ways to cope with stress.

Inside Out Day 03.02.2021

|

In February, during Children’s Mental Health Week, Inside Out Day is partnering with the mental health charity Beyond to create the UK’s first ever mental health and wellbeing festival for primary and secondary schools. The Now and Beyond Festival on Inside Out Day aims to tackle the mental health crisis facing our school children.

Pupils can wear an item of clothing inside out  as a reminder that how someone else looks on the outside doesn’t necessarily reflect how they are truly feeling on the inside – a simple premise and easy to implement.
