For Families - 1:1 programmes
The Super Hero Project
A 12 week programme for families with children in the primary phase. This is an ideal programme for families who want to give their child/ren the knowledge, understanding and skills to navigate challenge. We work with families around a variety of themes including anxiety, challenges around school, confidence building, understanding emotions and behavioural responses, relationship building and resilience. The adults take part in the sessions and lead implementation of the learning between sessions to ensure maximum impact. We cultivate a nurturing and optimistic environment where self-reflection and metacognition is highly encouraged (by the child and adult), without judgement. Our creative and adaptable approach supports the building of healthy and connected relationships. The programme uses theory and practices from psycho-education, mindfulness, yoga philosophy and neuro-linguisitic programming to create a tool kit of knowledge and skills. This empowers us to deal with challenge. Sessions are 1:1 and are tailored to meet the needs of the family.

The Power of Us
For Families - Community Programmes
Mindset Training Through Yoga
A community programme (working with a few families in a group), focusing on emotional and social development. We introduce, develop, and enhance the skills of resilience including; self awareness, an ability to ask for help, taking responsibility for brain health and wellbeing, identifying emotions, knowing and using strategies to self-regulate, trusting others, having a sense of control and helpful self-beliefs and perceptions. We give opportunities for families to cultivate environmental factors that promote resilience. For example we promote a supportive and collaborative environment; we give a sense of purpose and autonomy; we create an environment where it is safe to take risks and ask for help and we share positive and ‘growth' focused feedback. This is modelled by Mindful Brain so the adults learn just as much as the children. Helpful tools are shared, to be practised at home each week. The learning is taught through yoga activities, team work, stories and games. Programmes are advertised on the Mindful Brain Facebook and Instagram pages and here www.mindfulbrain.co.uk/usefullinks
Brainology
An introductory workshop ideal for families who are interested in understanding more about how to support the emotional and social development of their child. Through games, stories, team activities, creative play and reflections; children and their parents learn about emotional and behavioural reactions to challenges and tools to self and co-regulate. They learn the importance of a proactive approach and what to do in those 'wobble' moments. Suggestions of further implementation is shared. With Mindful Brain’s therapeutic and creative approach, parents learns just as much from this as the children! Brainology can be delivered as tailored 1:1 sessions or within a community setting with a group of families. Contact Mindful Brain to find out more.
Get Creative! Get Calm!
Art and Wellbeing are amalgamated to form the ‘Get Creative and Get Calm’ workshop/s. It is idea for children and families who are keen to implement a daily 'calm' practice. To begin we learn about parts of the brain related to emotions and what can be done to encourage calm in our day. We then get our hands messy creating our very own ‘calm box’ of tools to support self-regulation. We find when children make their own resources and are taught how to use them, they are more motivated to use them to get ready for the day ahead or when challenges arise. See up and coming dates here: www.mindfulbrain.co.uk/usefullinks or contact Mindful Brain to arrange a workshop in your community. We work with groups like Brownies and Scouts too.
