Baby mindful classes follow a 7-step approach which is a mixture of gentle sensory activities designed to promote cognitive, physical, emotional and social development. The activities aim to support the well-being and calmness of parents and explore the emotional connection between the parents and their babies.
The gentle pace of the classes gives the space to just ‘be’ rather than ‘do’ and spend quality time together, away from the stress and rush of life.
Classes are arranged around ages 0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-18 months and can be offered on a 1:1 basis or in small groups, either in your own home, in schools or in community centres.
Relax Kids sessions are based around a 7-step system that takes children from a high energy to a relaxed state using movement, games, stretching, peer massage, breathing exercises, affirmations and relaxation.
Sessions support children’s mental and emotional well-being, giving them tools to build confidence, resilience, manage stress and become more emotionally literate, resilient and calm.
We design the sessions to meet the needs of the different groups and can be tailored for schools, clubs, families and 1-2-1. These can range from one-off lessons to a series based on a particular theme.
ChargeUp is a programme of lessons that focus on helping teens understand and manage their emotional and mental health and well-being by encouraging a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, increasing self-awareness, increasing self-esteem, and improving sleep.
Each session incorporates relaxation techniques, positive affirmations, visualisations, and breathing exercises as well as games, massage, exercises and discussions on topics related to developing a healthy lifestyle.
Sessions can run for 6 weeks or be created for individual needs.
The RAP program was developed at the School of Psychology and Counselling at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia.
RAP draws on the metaphor of the “Three Little Pigs”, in which only the house made of bricks withstood the attacks of the Big Bad Wolf.
Each week, participating adolescents develop their own personal ‘RAP house’ by laying down different personal resource bricks (e.g. ‘Personal Strength Bricks’, ‘Keeping Calm Bricks’, ‘Problem-Solving Bricks’) as the program unfolds.
Components provide techniques for keeping calm, cognitive restructuring and problem-solving, and the importance of dealing with conflict by developing an understanding of the perspective of others. The common thread throughout the program is teaching techniques to maintain self-esteem in the face of various stressors.
Careful evaluation, including controlled trials, has shown RAP-A to be a successful preventive intervention for adolescent depression.
