A ‘Done for You’ Program to Improve Mental Health
Schools across the UK are under unprecedented pressure, as they struggle to address a range of children's social and emotional issues, unrelated to teaching. In recent years there has been a rise in the number of school aged children experiencing poor mental health and social-emotional developmental delays. As a direct result of the pandemic, health services are currently stretched, resulting in chronic waiting lists and a postcode lottery of provision. Thousands of children are being left to reach crisis point before they receive support. This is having a huge impact on schools who are increasingly required to provide more support for the mental health and wellbeing of pupils.
Empowering Schools, One Teacher at a Time
At Sunny Kids Shine®, we offer opportunities for staff to up-skill and train in our Feelings Detective® Curriculum. Deliver our award-winning program through extracurricular activities, as part of your PSHE curriculum, for early intervention with small groups, or as a whole-school approach. Our program greatly benefits staff and pupil's mental health and well-being, creating a more emotionally enabling environment for all.
Our Curriculum
Our accredited Feelings Detective® curriculum is a game-changer for children’s social-emotional learning, development, and overall well-being. Our resources are meticulously aligned with the national curriculum, empowering schools to prioritise mental health education holistically. By incorporating our programs, schools can provide the much-needed support children and families require, enhancing the educational experience for all.
Why do schools choose us...
The positive impacts of incorporating our program into your everyday practice are:
- It is a ‘done for you’ program that can be picked up and implemented quickly and easily, with little input and huge rewards.
- Staff and pupils each have a toolkit and work together to SHINE which stands for: Self-awareness, Healthy Habits, Independent, Nurturing and Emotionally Intelligent.
- Staff learn alongside the pupils, with students also supporting each other, creating a strong sense of unity and belonging.
- Our holistic approach improves consistency and continuity of care, whilst bridging the gap between home and school. This is vital in building and maintaining the crucial working relationship, ensuring everyone is working together.
- It supports children in understanding their feelings and the feelings of others, together with their individual strengths. It builds confidence, self-regulation skills, and the ability to make and maintain healthy friendships.
- Children move from struggling to regulate to being able to self-soothe and catch their feelings before they get too big. They can also effectively discuss their thoughts and feelings to support their mental health and well-being. This results in calmer, more confident, happier and more content children ready to SHINE through school and beyond.
