Fresh Minds Education seeks to support teachers in the pursuit of; raising kind, brave, strong, emotionally resilient & loving children; increasing joy; and fostering a more peaceful society.
Fresh Little Minds REGULATE & RELAX is a trauma informed self-regulation, emotional resilience programme for children delivered by teachers in their classrooms. The highly structured curriculum has been broken into micro lesson plans, ‘bite sized chunks’, and is supported by an incredible set of resources created to support busy teachers to have the confidence to deliver an emotional health and resilience curriculum with ease, pleasure and with minimum preparation and time.
Mental Health & Covid Recovery: It is too early for our society to be even thinking about Covid recovery as we are still in the pandemic and the impact of the pandemic will carry on for families and communities for many years to come. It is therefore vital that we are doing everything we can to become trauma reducing and this means equipping our teachers, parents and children with the tools to regularly self-regulate and relax their nervous system so that their bodies can incrementally dissolve the impact of the trauma that is being experienced. We know that teachers and classroom staff are extremely busy so this programme has been designed to enable teachers to access our thoughtful and impactful curriculum, simply and easily. It contains almost everything you need!

Ready To Relax
Anchoring the REGULATE & RELAX programme in your classroom – you can’t relax with all that stuck energy flying around in the room! A playful way to introduce the programme, GROUND children energy and learn some repeated techniques to aid self-regulation.
Move Move Move
Children often ‘Flip Their Lids’ when emotions can get to much, here we can explore which emotions and feelings cause most problems in their lives, how they are experienced physically and how BODY BREAKS & MINI MOVEMENT can trick the brain into producing happy chemicals to make mind and body feel better.
Tickle Touch & Tap
Want a safe positive antidote to negative thoughts and feelings? Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or ‘TAPPING’ helps stuck energy find its own way out and encourages children to name and recognise feelings and replace with empowering thoughts
Tickle Touch Tap & HUGS
Want a safe positive antidote to negative thoughts and feelings? Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or ‘TAPPING’ helps stuck energy find its own way out and encourages children to name and recognise feelings and replace with empowering thoughts.
Aroma Vibes
Using our oldest and most powerful sense, the olfactory sense teachers will learn how to stimulate the memory and create new powerfully positive experiences for children! Accompanied by breathwork, these sessions
Be The Boss
Its time to shine! During this theme teachers will support children to revisit the tools and techniques that they have been learning throughout programme. Children develop confidence in their own ability to take charge and support themselves harnessing their own internal power! They will be their own boss!
