ICPS: Ten Keys to Happier Living - Children's Mental Health Week

At ICPS we know that everyone has times when they feel happy and times that they do not. We also know that through our actions and behaviours we can change the way that we are feeling. Since introducing the approach promoted by Action for Happiness, utilising their Ten Keys to Happier Living, we have been able to teach our pupils specific strategies that they can use at times when they would like to feel happier.
To coincide with Children's Mental Health Week, Val Payne and Peter Harper from Action for Happiness presented a session on the Ten Keys at the TaMHS Mental Health Conference in Northamptonshire, which featured resources made and used by ICPS staff. This included our classroom display of the keys and those we have on our lanyards. It also featured our new mural, the sharing of the words of our G.R.E.A.T.  D.R.E.A.M. song and even an audio recording of the children singing the G.R.E.A.T.  D.R.E.A.M.
We were honoured to involved in this way and hope to extend our partnership with Action for Happiness in the coming months.
