One family of programmes from 0 to 16

We have a programme for every stage. myHappymind early years supports children from two to four in early years settings. myHappymind primary is a whole-school programme from reception to year 6, and schools can add myHappymind PSHE or myHappymind Belong. myMindcoach supports young people at secondary school. myHappymind for family hubs brings parents and children together in their local hub, and myHappymind for families supports parents at home.

No. Every programme is delivered by people children already know, whether that’s teachers, early years practitioners or family hub practitioners, with no specialist expertise needed. Training is online, with no extra training days.

Very little, and each programme is designed to fit around the setting. Early years settings use short weekly activities, stories and songs. In primary schools, it’s one 20-minute lesson a week, with about 5 minutes to read the plan. Secondary schools can teach myMindcoach to whole classes or small groups, or students can work through it on their own. Family hubs run five weekly sessions.

Every programme comes ready to use, so nobody has to write anything from scratch. Depending on the programme, that includes ready-to-teach lessons and activities, CPD, targeted courses and toolkits for children who need more support, and resources to help bring families on board.

Every child. Our programmes are universal, so they build the foundations for lifelong wellbeing rather than waiting for problems to appear. Inclusion is designed in, with materials for children who are hard of hearing or partially sighted, and special schools, resource bases and alternative provision settings use our dedicated SEN programme.

Yes. In early years settings, full statutory PSED coverage is included as standard. Primary schools can add myHappymind PSHE for 100% statutory PSHE coverage, and secondary schools can teach myMindcoach as part of PSHE or tutor time.

It’s designed to do the opposite. Everything is ready to use, and because our programmes support every child, fewer concerns escalate into referrals. Our 2025/26 National Impact Report found 18,895 SENCO referrals prevented across schools using myHappymind.

In every programme, families learn the same language and concepts for big feelings as the children, so support carries on at home. Primary schools share learning through the myHappymind parent app. In family hubs, parents and children learn together, with an app between sessions. myHappymind for Families helps parents learn the science themselves and share it with their children.

myHappymind is NHS-backed and used in more than 2,500 schools and settings. The Centre for Mental Health’s independent 2026 evaluation looked at our early years and primary programmes, and our 2025/26 National Impact Report brings together independent evaluations, local authority data and feedback from teachers, staff and pupils.
