Mastering your mind

The Wellbeing Programme for Schools

Building confidence, resilience, and happiness — one lesson at a time

Built for ages 11–14 and based on the award-winning book Mastering Your Mind, this first-of-its-kind preventative mental health and life skills programme was created by psychotherapist and JTeen founder Yaakov Barr.

The programme teaches the practical skills that repeatedly emerge at the heart of many of the challenges facing young people today- confidence, resilience, emotional awareness, healthy relationships, coping skills, and healthier thinking patterns.

Combining evidence-based psychology with engaging classroom learning, Mastering Your Mind gives schools a structured way to teach the life skills many students are never formally taught, but will draw upon for the rest of their lives.

What's included

  • Student workbook built around clear Life Hacks
  • Lesson plans and teacher notes
  • Classroom activities and guided discussions
  • Teacher Powerpoints design for mixed-ability and neurodiverse classrooms
  • Reinforcement tools including quizzes and word searches
