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.”

Hawkesley Church Primary Academy

Welcome to another special myHappymind Conversations episode, where I’m talking to another one of our incredible schools about the impact that myHappymind is having on their entire school community. Today I’m talking to Chris at Hawkesley Church Primary Academy, which is a member of the Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust. They have been using the programme for a year and are seeing some quite remarkable things happen as a result. So, let’s dive in.
