Why is the Mind Fit programme needed?
The education sector is aware that mental health issues are reaching critical levels. Almost every child from Year 6 upwards admits to being highly anxious at least some of the time and the number of teenagers suffering from depression is escalating.
The reduction of stress is critical to learning. It is vital that we give these young people the means to control their anxiety and fulfil their potential.

How does it work?
Mind Fitness through Drama and Active Learning:
The Mind Fit and Creative programme has been designed to reduce stress levels, increase ability to self-regulate behaviour, and engender a positive and optimistic mindset. It blends Mindfulness and CBT, but also uses Drama and Active Learning, REBT and aspects of Drama Therapy. It focuses on the links between creativity, aspiration and resilience. In terms of the science the evidenced links between the imagination and the higher thinking brain are compelling.
Our content is endorsed by cutting edge neuroscience; our delivery, being a theatre company, is unique. Every session is designed to be informative, practical, interactive and fun. We aim to inspire!
All schools receive a full 25 page Workbook.
Each student receives a worksheet.

Go to our Performers Section for details.
Ongoing Projects
We are working with one school on a radical whole change-school programme implementing across every aspect of the organisation. If you are interested in this please get in touch.
We are working with 3 special schools on a Transitions Project, in which pupils from the Secondary Specials help to lead workshops in Primary Schools. If you are interested in this please get in touch.
INSET
As well as working with students we run very effective INSET training sessions. These enable your staff to help implement changes for the students, and of course benefit themselves from the stress-reducing techniques.
By combining scientifically validated models we unlock a process of self-discovery and development. The course covers Resilience, Challenging unhelpful Beliefs, Positive and Negative Stress, The neuroscience behind Change, Reflection through Mindfulness Practice, Approaching unhealthy Negative Emotions, Understanding Thinking Errors, Emotional Intelligence, Mind and Body and the Role of Creative Thought.
We also give ideas of how best to teach the Mind Fitness Exercises and look at the process of teaching mindfully.

Talk to us in advance of the visit. We are happy to focus on an issue, and reference it in some of the exercises. Common issues are bullying, exam stress and transitions to the next school.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”As a staff member I am interested; how can I justify the cost to the school?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
It is clear that Mind Fitness (and other anxiety reducing techniques) are contributing to improved exam results, although this, is not, of course, our primary aim. Perhaps more important is the simple fact that the best teaching in the world will be going to waste if students are not in a state of mind in which they are able to listen and able to learn.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”We would like to give the whole school a Mind Fitness experience but you work with class sized groups. How is it best to do this?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
We often go into a school for a Well being Week (either 1 or 2 teams depending on the size of the school) and work with all classes over the week. In this case the workshops with Years 1 – 4 are shorter sessions.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Is Mind Fitness something we will have to keep doing to feel the benefit?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
The longer you do it for the more benefit you feel. The exercises are simple and quick and can be used as a two minute introduction to a class, in tutorials or in PSHE.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Does the Mind Fitness programme work for people with special needs?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Yes absolutely. The Mind Fitness team is trained to work with people of all abilities and disabilities and all exercises can be adapted. Please let us know if there is anyone you feel would benefit from additional support. Let us know if there are exercises to be repositioned to work most effectively with, for example, an autistic group.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Will Mind Fitness help our students with exams?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Yes, it will. Many schools we have worked with have used the techniques to give their students the best possible chance in the exams. And it’s important to remember that debilitating exam nerves can have a much more serious long-term effect. It is key to give students that are suffering the tools to enable them to do their best possible thinking.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Do you do INSET work?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Our inset workshops (either full day or twilight) are very popular. Many schools book an INSET immediately prior to us beginning work with the students.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Would you come in and work with our Parent Governors or with individual staff?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
We are very happy to come in and work with a small group. Alternatively we offer Coaching options if you want a one-to-one approach.
