Dear Matthew,
We are excited to share with you a brand-new video introducing the Thrive Approach and the impact it can help you have on the lives of children and young people. The video is perfect to share with anyone looking to learn more about Thrive and how it can be used as a whole-school approach to emotional health and wellbeing.
One way to help promote the wellbeing of your pupils is by training a Senior Mental Health Lead. If you haven’t yet applied for DfE funding, there’s still time! Keep reading to find out about the DfE grant and how to book a place on Thrive training.
Also in this update, there are new activities recommended in Thrive practice for all ages, including sensory games, breathing techniques and mindfulness ideas. Plus, a new case study with Heath Farm School, sharing how Thrive has helped pupils manage and reflect on their behaviour, build resilience and access learning.
Best wishes, Lee Prichard Head of UK Regional Development

More Thrive activities for all ages

Thrive offers a dynamic, developmental approach that draws on established neuroscience and child development.
This means all children and young people can benefit - from early years to adolescence.
These new resources have simple activities recommended in Thrive practice for different age groups, including sensory games for babies and toddlers, breathing techniques for children and mindfulness ideas for young people.

Heath Farm suffered from a disruptive atmosphere due to a combination of students with a range of behavioural difficulties and varying needs. They wanted to build a calm environment that would allow students to access their full potential.
