Compass is delighted to announce that to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week we have launched our YouTube channel ‘Wellbeing Wake-up’.
We want to make sure that we are contributing to this year’s theme by providing our act of kindness in making these sessions free for everyone to enjoy. ‘Wellbeing Wake-up’ sessions are aimed at primary aged children, parents/carers and education staff via our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXumjginrAvOILD-1PkJF_g/ .
Our weekly bitesize sessions will be based around the 5 ways to wellbeing: connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give. Each of the 6 videos will include a short explanation for adults on why it is important to promote wellbeing, followed by a ‘wake up and shake up’ for children’s minds and bodies to become focused, finishing with a interactive activity that can be carried out with the child and adult at a convenient time.
Check out Emma Tymon being interviewed about ‘Wellbeing Wake-up’ on launch day, with BBC Radio York’s Georgey Spanswick (here: Scroll to 2 hours 34 mins) and speaking to BBC Radio Humberside’s Kofi Smiles (here: Scroll to 2 hours 21 mins).
A new ‘Wellbeing Wake-up’ video will be uploaded every Wednesday morning at 0830 until the end of June. We look forward to seeing you all there!!
