For the students!

If children are struggling emotionally and mentally, they cannot learn, pay attention, make decisions, solve problems, listen, focus, follow rules or interact appropriately – they cannot function to their full potential. Current research shows that 1 in 7 school aged children have a mental health condition and half of all mental health conditions emerge by 14 years of age. We cannot expect children to learn when they are suffering from stress, anxiety, poor emotional regulation or over stimulation.

For yourselves as teachers!

Similarly, if teachers are struggling emotionally and mentally, they are less efficient, make mistakes, have difficulty with relationships and communication, and most importantly can not support their students to the best of their ability. Research in this area shows that many teachers don’t feel supported in their demanding roles and leave the profession due to stress and other mental health conditions.

Mindfulness in Education is an online course delivered via the Head and Heart Mindfulness Online Learning Portal. The course consists of 4 x video sessions with corresponding activities to complete.
