Quotes

“

“Our children just didn’t have the same spark about them post-COVID.”

“

“The focus of myHappymind very much fits in with the PSHE curriculum, and it’s not something that you’re just bolting on as an extra. It’s something that fit the ethos of our school. It’s something that you build into every lesson, every subject, every aspect of school life, and it’s something that the parents could get involved in as well.”

“

“Within minutes of training our staff, we had buy in and that’s when we knew we’d got a good resource to use, that compliments our curriculum.”

“

“This one child that at one point was a school refuser had changed their whole idea of school, and became a leader of sharing happiness – it was worth everything just for that child.”

“

“If the children are at the heart of your decision-making, and you are not already offering a mental health curriculum and support – then absolutely explore myHappymind as an option, I would not look back.”

“

“It permeates throughout our whole curriculum.”
