We explain what other wellbeing programmes assume.
Schools work incredibly hard to support young people's wellbeing.
Counselling.
Guidance.
Student support.
Wellbeing lessons.But before young people can confidently use coping strategies, they first need to understand why they think, feel and respond the way they do.
That's where Settled Minds comes in.
