BeWell-DoWell

TESTIMONIAL The students of Ireland needed mental health education long before the pandemic. They need it now more than ever yet still it is not being prioritised. We are always so grateful to work with schools who are aware of this and want to be the change their students need

IT STARTS WITH US Ever wonder how you can help build a strong emotional foundation for the children in your lives? A little awareness goes a long way. In this article (3 min. read) Aoife shares some of her story and how she is trying to break the cycle: ow.ly/qmVL50HJkEy

AWARENESS IS KEY

SURVEY TIME Calling all parents/caregivers, we would greatly appreciate your input and time by completing this anonymous survey: forms.gle/TiJBaVRYFvGT5S… Our research continues so that we can find the best way to support you to support your children's emotional wellbeing. TIA 🙏

AT YOUR SERVICE As teachers ourselves we know all too well the lack of resources and training available to us when it comes to supporting the emotional and mental well-being of our students. We love to share what we have learned and how small changes can make a big difference.

SELECTIVELY SOCIAL A big thank you to the lovely Laurie Morrisey for submitting this wonderful piece, on life and parenting as an introvert (a social one at that). You can read it here: ow.ly/89Lr50HnXTn Who else can relate to being selectively social? We certainly can!

GENTLE REMINDER Block out any noise coming your way about 'New Year - New You'. This is so unhelpful and can be quite harmful! Filter your feed and take care x #bewelldowell #mentalwellness #selflove #selfcompassion #filteryourfeed

"If we don’t look out for our early years staff, we are going to lose some brilliant practitioners in 2022. That will be bad for all children, especially for disadvantaged children, who benefit most from loving attention, care and teaching in early years" buff.ly/3FRxAR4
