Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS)

Mental Health and Wellbeing

Recently in Friendology, we have been exploring the notion of being ‘kind-on-purpose’ and ‘mean-on-purpose’ – what it means to act with intent both positively and negatively, and how to respond to behaviour that makes us feel not so great. Students are becoming skilled in being able to have strategies ready to support them when faced with challenges, and also unpack thinking and possible reasons for behaviours.
