Impact Wellbeing
Promoting Emotional Wellbeing in both Primary and Secondary Education
The impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACE’s) is now gaining recognition, leading to:
“Poor life course health and social outcomes” according to research commissioned by the
Faculty of Public Health April 2013.
Poor social skills and poor emotional intelligence hinder not only academic achievement
but also the quality of relationships with peers, partners and family. Aspirations are
severely hampered by low self-esteem and lack of confidence.
This 10 week course is targeted for those vulnerable students. The Emotional Wellbeing
programme has evidenced improvements in all 14 Mental Wellbeing categories detailed in
the Warwick-Edinburg Mental Wellbeing Scale. This is used for pre-post course evaluation.
 Feeling optimistic about the future
 Feeling useful
 Feeling relaxed
 Feeling interested in other people
 Have energy to spare
 Dealing well with problems
 Thinking clearly
 Feeling good about myself
 Feeling close other people
 Feeling confident
 Able to make my mind up about things
 Feeling loved
 Been interested in new things
 Feeling cheerful
Using a range of tools and techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT) and Positive
Psychology the programme successfully improves resilience and aspiration for vulnerable
children, at both primary and secondary level.
