Wellbeing advent calendars

The lead up to winter break can be a fun and exciting time, but it’s also a period that may make some young people feel anxious and stressed. We’ve created wellbeing advent calendars both for your students and you to look after your wellbeing as the holidays approach.

Topic:
Practical tools for support
For:
Schools

This resource covers:

Our wellbeing advent calendars provide an opportunity for your pupils to learn different activities that will help them look after their mental health in the lead up to the winter break. We've also included one for staff as we recognise how important it is for you to look after your wellbeing too!

Our new 2024 calendars run from 25 November to 13 December. But feel free to adapt them to suit your school!
