Do-BeMindful adopts a whole-school approach to Mindfulness-inspired learning designed to nurture a kind, caring and hopeful culture within the community. All programmes for children and young people are delivered via our purpose-built online learning platform and by adopting a blended learning approach our schools are offered the opportunity to learn the life-enhancing skills of Mindfulness in a way that is:
For Primary
- inclusive
- flexible
- accessible to all
Our philosophy is that education professionals cannot teach Mindfulness to others unless they have meaningful experience gained from personal practice and learning. Completion of either our Educators’ programmes: Do-BeMindful Foundation Programme or Resilience-based Recovery: Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Programme is pre-requisite in advancing to our teaching programmes below for young learners.

This programme provides lesson materials for primary teachers to use with their learners over a continuous 8 week period. There are 2 lessons per week, 16 lessons in total in a series of fun, engaging Mindfulness lessons for young learners that will help them develop healthy habits of mind and transformative, lasting life-skills that will benefit their mental health, emotional wellbeing and academic performance.
“I particularly enjoyed the neuroscience and the teaching tips sections in this programme. I do believe for it to work teachers have to practice themselves. The Explorers programme will help many of our pupils who are dealing with stress and anxiety to build resilience.”

Do-BeMindful Resilience-based Recovery Programme for Primary Schools: 1st / 2nd level; Reception / Key Stage 1 and 2 in England and Wales.
Developed in response to COVID-19, this programme offers 8 weeks of Whole-School Activities to help children and families build the emotional resilience that they need to cope with the anxiety and stress they are currently facing.
