The lessons are written by a range of teachers and mental health professionals and are designed to fit into your Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) curriculum, in a modern, engaging and evidence-based manner, as part of the MindMate Champions whole school approach.
When designing the curriculum, we prioritised key emotionally skills; self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills, as well as ensuring the format was easy to deliver and tailor to your classes.
