Delivered in two 60-minute sessions with stories, games and guided conversations, Thriving Minds helps students build emotional awareness and practise tools to navigate feelings and seek help with confidence.
Thriving Minds Session One: Understanding Emotions, Self Care & Help Seeking
Students will explore how emotions can affect us and what to do when they feel too big. Through stories and guided conversations, children will learn to recognise their feelings, discover positive ways to respond, and practise asking for help when needed. This session creates a safe space for young learners to begin naming and managing tricky emotions with confidence.
Thriving Minds Session Two: Navigating Emotions & Supporting Others
In this session, children will practise what they learned in Session 1 while exploring the importance of empathy and inclusion. Through stories and discussion, they’ll reflect on how to handle uncomfortable emotions, why it matters to understand how others feel, and how we can support the people around us. This session strengthens emotional awareness, resilience, and kindness.
