We are looking to work with schools to help them devise cross-curricula training which is informed by new developments in psychological approaches to improving well-being and mental health. We can develop bespoke projects to work with learners of all ages and abilities, be they on your MAT register, are difficult to reach or are simply coasting.
The programme is designed and facilitated by an experienced teacher and a clinical psychologist with a strong interest in emotional literacy. Both have experience in using stories and storytelling in their work as a methodology to develop creative and critical thinking skills.
The four purposes of the new Welsh Curriculum
healthy, confident individuals who:
- are building their mental and emotional well-being by developing confidence, resilience and empathy
- form positive relationships based upon trust and mutual respect
- face and overcome challenge
- have the skills and knowledge to manage everyday life as independently as they can
ethical, informed citizens who:
- understand and consider the impact of their actions when making choices and acting
- respect the needs and rights of others, as a member of a diverse society
enterprising, creative contributors who:
- take measured risks
- express ideas and emotions through different media
ambitious, capable learners who:
- set themselves high standards and seek and enjoy challenge
- are building up a body of knowledge and have the skills to connect and apply that knowledge in different contexts
- are questioning and enjoy solving problems
- can communicate effectively in different forms and settings, using both Welsh and English
- can explain the ideas and concepts they are learning about
