About the course

A series of interactive lessons is an introduction for young people (and their families) interested in taking action surrounding their mental health and general wellbeing.

Centred around aspects of positive Mindset and Mindfulness, the course allows young people to actively participate in tasks which will see them develop confidence in managing their own emotions and in connecting with those around them. The duration of the course is 8 weeks (one lesson per week) with some practises and strategies to try throughout the week. If however you want to do the lessons back to back, the option to do that is there!
