At Fernhurst Primary School, we use My Happy Mind to help create a positive mental wellbeing culture in which children build resilience, self-esteem, and character. My Happy Mind uses the latest research, science, and technology to help children develop lifelong habits and learn to thrive.

My Happy Mind is taught across the whole school in weekly sessions, and consists of 5 units:

Meet Your Brain Understanding how our 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.

Celebrate Understanding our unique character strengths and learning to celebrate them. This module develops strategies for building self-esteem.

Appreciate Understanding why gratitude matters, its connection to wellbeing and recognising how we can develop gratitude as a habit.

Relate Understanding why positive relationships are important and recognising the building blocks of good friendships and relationships.

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.
