- Meet Your Brain: Understanding how your brain works and how to ensure we look after it so that we can manage our emotions and be at
our best. Growth mindset is a key part of this too. - Celebrate: Understanding your unique character strengths and learning to celebrate them. This is a fantastic module for building self-

resilience and we're all about making it a habit! - Relate: Understanding why positive relationships matter and how to build them. We're focussed on the building blocks of good relationships
and friendships. - Engage: Understanding how to set meaningful goals that matter and how to keep resilient in times of challenge. This module is all about
building self-esteem and resilience too.
'Implementing the My Happy Minds programme at the school has been great. I think it really encourages the kids to pay attention to how they think, feel and engage. As a parent, I have noticed my kids refer to their brain and how it processes their thoughts and helps them take action. My favourite thing about the my happy minds scheme are the breathing exercises, my kids enjoy doing this in class and it’s something they also get to practice at home. Having access to the parent app also helps to keep up the activities the kids practice at school. Overall I think it’s a great tool for their mental health and well being!'
