What is Happiness Heroes?
 |
What can make us happier?
The five main elements of Happiness Heroes are:
Mindfulness Gratitude Exercise Kindness to others and Sharing emotions
There is scientific evidence to show each of these practices can improve mental health and wellbeing, whatever the circumstances children (or adults) may be experiencing.
Using the arts
The methods of Happiness Heroes are drawn from my experience as an artist and theatre maker; in creative facilitation and the therapeutic use of the arts - and through many years working with children and young people.
Fun!
One of the most important aims of Happiness Heroes is for the participants to have a great time!
Happiness Heroes activities include: painting, singing, meditation, dancing, trying new foods (mindful eating), creating t-shirts, cards, posters and badges, positive pranking, listening to music, visualisation, having conversations and playing lots and lots of games!

When and where?
I can run Happiness Heroes as a one-hour after-school club in your primary or secondary school, or come to join in with the school day. I can offer an assembly, small groups or work with a whole class. I am also happy to work in out-of-school settings such as youth clubs.

Moodscope
Moodscope: test your mood
I use this tool to keep track of my mood over time. It's quick and simple to use, and when I add notes to my score I can start to see the patterns develop, showing which activities make me feel great (excercise, meditation, seeing friends, theatre and art, getting work done), and which not so much (staying in on my own, procrastination, youtube wormholes). You can invite 'buddies' to automatically receive your score and know how your day is going, which can be a great and simple way to reach out on a bad day and feel less isolated, or of course celebrate a good day!
