Intervention
Almost all children face moments of self-doubt or periods when they feel unconfident and anxious. For some children this can develop into how they view themselves and create low self-esteem and ongoing anxiety. Our intervention groups help address the root causes of a child’s low self-esteem, behaviour challenges, anxieties and emotional control, giving practical strategies to help a them develop assertiveness and confidence to overcome challenges ahead.
What Can BEST Interventions Offer Your School ?
1. POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING
BEST Interventions are bespoke to suit the needs of the children and the school. Our programmes are designed around the development of a child’s brain. Understanding how each unique part creates our ‘Thoughts, Feelings and Actions’. This enables a child to understand and take control of their ‘Survival, Emotional & Thinking Brains’, motivating them to grow into strong and confident young adults.
2. WHEN AND HOW?
BEST Interventions take place on timetable, during the school day. Each group session lasts 40 minutes for up to 4 children. Programmes are booked half termly 5/6 weeks or termly 10 weeks. For more information please email best4learningjulia@gmail.com or contact Julia on +44 7946 616146
3. UNIQUE AND ENGAGING THEMES
BEST Interventions are written for children with specific issues and needs who would benefit from a small group environment. The programmes teach through a variety of games and creative activities. Whilst each course is different, whether it is focusing on anxiety or behaviour, we continue to develop skills in Resilience, Self-Esteem and Controlling Emotions.
“I enjoyed these lessons because they helped me be more confident in both my primary and secondary school. It helped me to be more confident with my opinion” Year 6 Pupil
“I really enjoyed BEST because we learnt about secondary school and answered a lot of my questions about this, I also enjoyed it because we had activities and not only learning” Year 6 Pupil
Transition Workshops
I like learning stuff about us that we don’t learn in school such as the brain and you overcome our fears and why we get angry”. Macy, Year 6
I loved the ‘bouncing back’ on the space hoppers. We raced up and down the room to make us think about not giving up. We laughed so much! I have to remember that when I get angry with my maths.” Kavarie, Year 4
I think that BEST Club is the best! Sam Year 1
BEST Clubs
“A great session. As a girl, I really do wish my friends and I had a session like this
about boundaries and consent. It really would have helped my friends and I in our
teens. You’re both so kind and calm too which really helps the girls feel more
confident” Year 6 Teacher
“Vicky and Julia were great with the girls, it was good to see how they built on
consent with the popcorn and kissing. The girls felt open to be honest and ask
questions. There were great scenarios and role play” Year 6 Teacher
