Wellbeing Sessions
Wellbeing Circles for Schools and Community Groups
Thanks to a very generous grant from the Fairer Health and Wellbeing Project Fund through Suffolk County Council, we were delighted to be able to offer wellbeing sessions for children in schools and community groups from 2021-2022. The sessions were offered to groups of girls from years 5-11 across a six week programme. Our funding has now finished, but we delivered sessions to around 200 young girls and boys in several different settings throughout the year and our initial feedback have shown very positive results. We hope to be able to offer this again as soon as possible but can still arrange the sessions for a fee for any group that would like us to deliver them. Please get in touch if you are interested.

Six 1-hour sessions will focus on emotional and social literacy, providing tools to manage the changes ahead (for example mindfulness exercises, yoga, relaxation) with confidence-building, positive and empowering activities. Girls will receive a journal in the first session and weekly journaling tasks to help focus and explore some of the topics we discuss.
Sessions ideally take place seated on the floor in a circle in a quiet space – this might require some moving of furniture etc. Each session starts with an opening of the circle where girls can share any things that have come up over the week and ends with a closing activity.
Session 1 : My many emotions
Session 2 : Me, myself and others
Session 3 : Finding my voice
Session 4 : My unique body
Session 5 : My periods
Session 6 : Celebration of me
These sessions can be adapted for a group of boys as well. (Session 4 - what is manliness?, Session 5 - my body)
If you would like us to come in to your school or community group setting (Brownies/Scouts/home ed group etc) or if you would like to come with your group to our site for outdoor sessions, please email [email protected]
