Quotes

“

“It was almost as a collective…as if we’ve never done something like this before for our children.”

“

“Before myHappymind, mental health was mentioned but not really ever acted upon or talked about. It was never done in classrooms.”

“

“People don’t want to talk about it, don’t want to open up about it but some of the people in our school are now seeing it as, well they’ve got it, they’re going through it, so I can open up to people about it.”

The programme has empowered students to understand their emotions and develop key emotional regulation strategies.
