myHappymind
At Radcliffe Primary School, we are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of all our children. As part of this commitment, we deliver the myHappymind programme, helping children develop resilience, confidence and self-esteem, as well as learning how to manage their emotions.
Grounded in positive psychology and neuroscience, myHappymind is a whole-school approach that aims to develop resilient, confident and independent children, enabling them to understand how to look after their mental health.
myHappymind helps children understand how their brains work and supports them in developing the skills to self-regulate and manage their emotions during stressful times. Through the programme, we aim to create a positive school culture where children feel supported and able to be their very best selves.
How myHappymind supports children
The programme helps children to:
-Feel happier.
-Know what to do when they feel worried or stressed.
-Improve their focus and learning.
-Achieve more of the goals they set for themselves.
-Develop better relationships with friends and family.
-Feel positive about who they are and develop healthy self-esteem.
