When it comes to the mental health crisis enveloping our society, there is a huge emphasis on putting out fires.

At iheart, we believe in preventing fires.

Our transformative approach to supporting young people, teachers and parents is based on our core belief that:

‘we have everything we need inside us’ which is uniquely focused on mental wellness, prevention and education.

The iheart Principles describe how the human psychological system is an intelligent system based on a clear logic that explains the source of all feeling states, emotions and felt experiences.

Our psychological system has wellbeing built into it and is always working in a logical way, which enables us to self-correct and reconnect with our wellbeing.

iheart is underpinned by an overarching question of enquiry: Do you believe that someone or something can give you or take away your wellbeing? i.e. is putting a feeling in you?

The answer to this question, either ‘yes’ or ‘no’, this acts as a compass, informing us if we are on or off track, and reconnects us with our innate wellbeing and resilience. Based on this enquiry, our programme teaches:

 What is innate/built-into our psychological system

 Why we think, feel and behave the way we do

 Why and how our wellbeing gets covered up and uncovered again

 How our built-in compass helps us return to our wellbeing

A preventative mental health education programme for young people aged 9 years – 18 years, delivered over the course of 10 individual or group sessions. Built on a scaffolded approach to learning, each session has its own clear learning objective and a mix of interactive discussions, activities, self-reflections, summary slides, animations, videos, and group exercises.

These Principles teach us that mental health and wellbeing is innate and available to all people.

Wellbeing includes deeper unconditional feelings of hope, peace of mind, love, kindness, gratitude, security, motivation, wisdom and resilience – teaching us that:

Wellbeing is our natural state and it can never be damaged, lost or broken.

No one and no thing can put a feeling in us.

No one and no thing can give us wellbeing or take our wellbeing away.

When we think that someone or something can put a feeling in us, it means we have outsourced our wellbeing and over-looked the fact that it is innate.

We aim to see the following improvements in the lives of the young people we work with:

😊 Resilience & Wellbeing – boosting self-esteem, coping skills, dealing with setbacks…

😊 Mental Health – reducing anxiety, stress, worry, depression, self-harm, unhealthy habitual & addictive behaviours…

😊 Motivation – progress, attendance, perseverance, problem solving, attainment…

😊 Behaviour – self-regulation, exclusions, disruption, anger, aggression…

😊 Relationships – tolerance, respect for difference, teamwork, positive relationships with self, teachers, peers and family members.
