Compassionate Mind Training - Pupils

This is the second of our compassionate mind training in education programmes. The pupil wellbeing curriculum has been shown in trial and internationally peer-reviewed published research to:

• Improve in-class behaviour
• Enable students to feel more socially included
• Improve emotion regulation
• Impact upon trait anxiety (i.e. inhibit increases in anxiety over time)
• Decrease socially prescribed perfectionism
• Decrease self-criticism

All the above are important aspects of good pupil wellbeing and mental health.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Attendees will be trained to deliver the 6-lesson Compassionate Mind Training - Pupils curriculum to school aged pupils aged 10-12 (those in years 6 and 7) to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

Learning Outcome 1: To Train individuals to be able to deliver Compassionate Mind Training - Pupils to pupils aged 10-12 in their schools or school network trust.
