Our Well-Being and Mental Health Sessions
At Young Minders, we are dedicated to supporting the well-being of home-educating families by offering meaningful and engaging mental health sessions. With the generous support of the National Lottery Awards for All, we have facilitated grounding sessions that enable young people to connect with nature, explore mindfulness practices, and strengthen peer relationships. Held in the woods, these sessions harness the proven benefits of outdoor learning—enhancing mental clarity, reducing stress, and promoting emotional resilience.
​
Additionally, our hands-on soap-making workshops have provided invaluable learning experiences for both parents and young people. These sessions foster relaxation, creativity, and family bonding, while also equipping participants with practical skills.

Expanding Our Mental Well-Being Offerings
Building on this success, we are expanding our well-being sessions to include grounding workshops, mocktail-making and mental health discussions for both parents and young people, as well as interactive sessions designed to support emotional well-being. Research shows that spending time in nature can reduce stress, enhance focus, and improve overall mood. As we approach the end of our current funding, we are seeking additional support to continue offering these valuable sessions for home-educating families. With further funding, we can ensure that even more families have access to these important well-being initiatives, strengthening our community and helping families thrive together.

We really enjoyed the creating, choosing the ingredients and making. I just want to add that it was very welcoming and friendly.

I left the workshop with not only beautifully crafted set of soaps but also a newfound appreciation for the Artistry and chemistry behind soap making. The provided handouts and resources will undoubtedly serve as valuable references for future endeavours in this craft.
