Pocklington Junior School has launched its myHappymind programme which is designed for schools to help prepare today’s children for tomorrow’s world by building resilient, balanced and happy minds at home and school.

The newly appointed Happiness Heroes will help promote the use of the programme in school which is structured across 5 modules:
1. Meet your brain – Understanding how your brain works and how to ensure we look after it so that we can manage our emotions and be at our best. Growth mindset is a key part of this too.

2. Celebrate – Understanding your unique character strengths and learning to celebrate them. This is a fantastic module for building self esteem.

3. Appreciate – Understanding why gratitude matters and how you can develop gratitude as a habit. Gratitude is key to wellbeing and resilience and we’re all about making it a habit!

4. Relate – Understanding why positive relationships matter and how to build them. We’re focused on the building blocks of good relationships and friendships.

5. Engage – Understanding how to set meaningful goals that matter and how to keep resilient in times of challenge. This module is all about building self esteem and resilience too.

As a whole school program grounded in science and dedicated to building positive mental wellbeing, myHappymind helps children understand how their brains work and creates a culture that helps to build children’s resilience, confidence, and self esteem. myHappymind also teaches the children how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times, allowing them to be their very best selves!
