At The Willows, we care about helping every child feel happy, confident, and ready to learn. That’s why we use My Happy Mind – a special programme designed to support children's wellbeing and mental health that is based on scientific research.

What is My Happy Mind?
It’s a fun animated programme that helps children learn how to: 

• Build confidence and self-esteem
• Understand and manage their emotions
• Develop positive habits for a happy life

Children enjoy animated lessons that are exciting and easy to follow. Every child from Early Years to Year 6 takes part, with lessons suited to their age group.

What do children learn?
The programme is split into five modules, each teaching new skills and habits to help children build resilience, self-esteem and confidence.  We believe in teaching the science and embedding the habits around mental well-being. We give children the understanding and tools to cope when times get hard. The children learn how to look after their brain, they look at their own Character Strengths which helps them with their confidence and independence and they complete a module on goal-setting which increases their resilience.

Support for Families 

Parents can use the My Happy Mind Parent App so they can reinforce everything their children are learning at school whilst they’re at home.

Together, we’re building a school community where everyone can thrive.
