Resilience Toolkit - 10 Top Tips

5 Ways to Wellbeing - Wellbeing Wednesday

 

The 5 Ways To Wellbeing are a little bit like your 5 fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Trying to achieve these daily should help increase wellbeing and support you in feeling mentally healthy. Every week, we achieve the 5 ways to wellbeing on a Wednesday. This is to promote and prioritise the children's wellbeing and teach them new ways to achieve feeling good that they can then apply at home. 

 

See the picture below for what the 5 Ways to Wellbeing are, and below that a link to a toolkit you can use at home to continue working on these. Remember, this strategy is for adults as well as for children!
