Led by Adrian Bethune, the founder of Teachappy. 'I've been teaching happiness and wellbeing to primary school children and teachers since 2010.
My passion for children and teachers' mental health and wellbeing comes from my own experience of suffering poor mental health after I had graduated. I learned that there is nothing more important than your emotional wellbeing. On my road to recovery, I discovered the 'science of happiness', based on thousands of empirical studies, showing us simple evidence-based things we can do to look after our physical and mental health. In 2017, I set up Teachappy to share that knowledge with others, so we can all lead healthier, happier lives in and outside of school.
As well as teaching part-time, I also wear a few other hats:
- Lead curriculum designer for Oxford University Press' International Wellbeing Curriculum
- Deputy Chair of the strategic board for Well Schools.
- Advisor for Cambridge University's Mental Health in Schools Advisory Group.
- Dad to two young boys!
