Questions to ask before you choose

Yes. myHappymind is NHS-backed through the NHS Innovation Accelerator. In 2026, the Centre for Mental Health, an independent mental health charity, evaluated it in its report Supporting a Whole-School Approach to Wellbeing. The evaluation found the programme supports children’s emotional regulation, self-esteem and wellbeing. Independent analyses of local authority data in Bury (July 2026) and Sefton (August 2026) add local evidence, and for every £1 invested, the wider system avoids £18.50 in cost. We only publish figures we can trace back to their source. The NHS pays for myHappymind in over 50 LAs, further evidence of its confidence in the approach. We are the only NHS-backed programme of its kind in schools.

At the core. Our NHS-backed wellbeing programme is the foundation everything else builds on. Early years settings get full statutory PSED coverage as standard, and primary schools can add myHappymind PSHE for 100% statutory PSHE coverage, all using the same science and language from the early years to secondary. Our programme is mental health and wellbeing first, that's why it's the richest wellbeing programme in the market and the only one that is NHS backed. We don't see well-being as an add-on; we see it as the core of everything.

Yes. Every child takes part, and every core lesson has a calm version built with special schools. myHappymind Belong gives schools practical tools to plan, deliver and evidence inclusion, aligned to the DfE's inclusion principles. Our Speech and Language Toolkit and myHappymind Places are nasen Assured, independently reviewed by nasen, the National Association for Special Educational Needs. The whole programme is tailored for neurodiverse children and modified for children who are hard of hearing or partially sighted. Special schools, resource bases and alternative provision settings use our dedicated SEN programme.

Ready to teach. Lessons, activities, assemblies and CPD come fully prepared, so nobody writes or adapts anything from scratch. In primary schools, teachers spend about 5 minutes reading the plan before each 20-minute lesson, and training is online, with no extra training days.

Yes. In primary schools, the myHappymind Parent App helps families learn the same science and the same words for big feelings, so support carries on at home. myHappymind for Families also offers a programme for parents and children aged 3 to 16.
