Taking Worry Out of the Classroom Volume Two

We know there is a rise in mental health issues in young people – so what strategies can we put into place?

 

If you would like to incorporate more mindfulness and self-esteem activities into the classroom, then this is the book for you.

 

The classroom environment should be a place for children to be creative, explorative and space for them to grow with self-love and self-worth, with the focus on children’s passions and interests. A child who receives this will learn more effectively.

THE INVISIBLE GIRL

You can read my full story here, from when I was ten years old and what happened to me. I was admitted to a psychiatric unit at fifteen and continued to suffer throughout my adult life with feelings of self-hatred, fear, darkness and not knowing who I was. I used addictions to help me to cope on the outside when the inside was chaotic. I finally found my healing and had a burning desire to share this with the universe to give love, hope and inspiration to others in pain.

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass
