The challenge and the change
“There is a boy in my class who, when he came up from Year Five, didn’t even come into class. He wouldn’t go into assembly… but he now is able to talk about his feelings… He is now in class every day. He comes into assembly… He sat all his tests.” – Senior Leader and Class teacher, St Paul’s Catholic Primary School
Staff at St Paul’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery noticed increased anxiety, emotional dysregulation and difficulties expressing feelings since COVID. They wanted to help children manage emotions independently.
Introduced alongside existing wellbeing support, myHappymind brought Happy Breathing, character strengths and circles of control into daily school life. Children now use strategies independently to manage challenges, resolve conflict and prepare for tests, both at school and at home. One pupil who previously struggled to participate now attends class and assemblies each day.
