What a fantastic start to this year’s Moment of Calm we’ve had. This is one of our proudest programmes, and a flagship of the charity: teaching Year 6 students the vital importance of their own wellbeing, of the role mindfulness can play in managing stress and heightened emotions, and that even during the intense transition from primary school to secondary school, amid the anxiety of SATs, they can find moments and spaces of quiet, safety, and assuredness.
These workshops carry children through a variety of mindfulness exercises, grounding the body and the brain in the here and now, and providing spaces of security and control. Every child also receives a mindfulness booklet of their very own, which they can refer back to at any time for techniques to manage a variety of feelings, in a variety of situations. There’s mindful colouring, stretches, gratitude practices, visualisations, and breathing techniques, in the effort that every student will be able to find something that works for them.
We are so proud of Moment of Calm and of our incredible facilitators, volunteers, and organisers who make it possible, and the schools who want to invest in their students’ wellbeing in the long term during a vulnerable and crucial stage of their lives.
