NGOS

NGO Partnerships.

Working with organisations and schools to make mental health education more accessible, engaging and community-led.

OUR APPROACH

From pilot sessions to tailored programmes.

Our NGO and school sessions are built around Healing Hearts' five-session mental health programme. We first piloted the curriculum with partner organisations, using feedback surveys and student responses to understand what worked best. Since then, we have adapted activities, examples and discussion formats for different age groups, communities and learning environments, allowing each session to respond to the students' needs and interests while keeping the core mental health themes consistent.

Raksha NGO

We conducted a five-session mental health programme with Raksha, using interactive discussions, art activities, colouring and reflection exercises to explore emotions, stress, relationships, self-expectations and resilience. Returning across multiple sessions helped us build a stronger connection with the children and made them increasingly comfortable participating, sharing their thoughts and engaging with conversations around mental wellbeing.

We visited Down To Earth NGO with UJAAS Foundation to introduce menstrual health and the physical and emotional changes that take place during the teenage years. The session allowed us to connect with younger girls, share our own experiences and answer questions in an approachable setting. We ended by distributing small bags with chocolates and pamphlets on breathing exercises and simple wellbeing techniques.

Greenlawns School

We conducted a mental health awareness session at Greenlawns School, introducing students to the importance of understanding and caring for their emotions and overall wellbeing. Interactive activities such as Emotion Charades helped students recognise and express different feelings in an engaging way, while our ‘Night Sky’ activity created a reflective space for them to share happy memories and meaningful moments from their lives. Through a mix of discussion, games and reflection, the session encouraged students to think more openly about mental health and wellbeing.

The session provided a welcoming space for children to share their experiences, ask questions, and learn simple techniques for managing stress and building emotional resilience.
