My Happy Mind

My Happy Mind is an NHS-backed, award-winning mental health and resilience curriculum designed for schools, nurseries, and families to help children build self-esteem, manage emotions, and develop positive habits. It focuses on neuroscience and positive psychology to support mental well-being in children. 

My Happy Mind is taught across five modules and each module introduces a new set of content and habits to help children build resilience, self-esteem and confidence:

1. 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. 

2. Celebrate

Understanding your unique character strengths and learning to celebrate them. This is a fantastic module for building self-esteem.

3. Appreciate

Understanding why gratitude matters and how you can develop gratitude as a habit. Gratitude is key to wellbeing and resilience and we're all about making it a habit! 

4. Relate

Understanding why positive relationships matter and how to build them. We're focussed on the building blocks of good relationships and friendships.

5. 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.
