Welcome to Heads Up Kids!

Heads Up Kids is a charity promoting positive mental health education in primary schools.  We deliver this through our social and emotional wellbeing curriculum. We offer our CPD accredited teacher training, programmes and resources to schools at no cost, to ensure that schools can access preventative mental health support. Our delivery model is in direct response to the mental health and financial crisis.

Written by Andy Hugh and Claire Godley, the overall aim is to create a shared emotional language in the classroom. We believe that;  “in a classroom where children have the words to express their feelings and feel confident to do so, those children will be more resilient, more able to solve problems, they will have more empathy for others and be better able to work collaboratively”. 

We train teachers to facilitate the programmes in the classroom and embed wellbeing into the culture of the class. Teachers attend training and are then given access to the programmes and resources. We also provide supportive tips and tools for home, to embed learning in all areas of life.

We believe that all teachers can be teachers of wellbeing.
