About the Programme
What if your younger students could gain the confidence and skills to navigate new environments and challenges?
11 sessions of in-depth support for students to navigate their very real day-to-day challenges, focusing on critical topics such as transitioning from primary to secondary school, self-esteem, exam stress, anxiety, relationships, and social media.
On completing the 11 classroom sessions, teachers and students have noticed significant improvements in:
Cooperation and teamwork Conflict resolution skills Relationships with peers, teachers and parents Ability to manage difficult situations Self-esteem and coping skills
iheart believes that for students to realise their full potential, it is essential for them to understand how their psychological system works. This will empower them to navigate through emotions and discover the possibilities that arise when their innate resilience is uncovered.
What topics are covered?
Understanding why we think, feel and behave the way we do Labels are for jars, not people – self-esteem & self-image Stress, anxiety and overthinking Bullying, anger & conflict Addictions and compulsive behaviours Using social media without it using you How we can think differently & still get along Why wellbeing is our constant companion
I believe every single school should be taking part in iheart. It helps equip young people as well as the staff that are trained to deliver the heart programme

This worked with children I never imagined it would work with… I am staggered by the results our school got from this intervention
Ben Jones, Deputy Head Teacher, Langley Park School for Boys
It was interesting to see that students have worries that maybe we – the staff – aren’t necessarily aware that they worry about. The value of having opportunities within schools to talk about wellbeing, resilience, worries and feelings and building upon that, is extremely important and very powerful.
Neil McCarthy, Vulnerable Pupil Lead, Ernest Bevin College
The sessions have helped enable the boys to deal more positively with a range of issues such as social pressures, bullying, exam stress and difficult family situations
