Engaging: A strong emphasis on experiential learning and reflection will help students to develop wellbeing skills that they can take with them into later school and adult life.

Variety and choice: Every lesson offers a range of activities, so you can select the activities that are best suited to your class.

Teacher support: The lessons have been carefully written to support teachers of all experience levels to cover sometimes serious, always important topics.
