To offer support to school communities during the first lockdown, we created a free resource Circles of CARE that was certified by the Anna Freud Centre and included in their Mentally Healthy Schools resources. The 4 sessions were created to aid recovery and reconnection in the classroom and were based on the 4 values of Community, Appreciation, Resilience and Empathy (CARE).

Each session provided a safe space for learners to come together either virtually or back in class and share their personal stories and reflections about their experience of lockdown. Included in each session was: a Silent Sitting meditation, a snap-shop of the pandemic captured in a photograph from their community that they discussed, a community quote and a Values Dialogue based on each value. You can access the 4 free Lesson kits for Ages 5-7 and Ages 7-11 here:
