Holiday & Food Programme
We have developed an online resources which supports the mental fitness and wellbeing of students that can be used as part of the holiday and food programme (HAF)
To build positive mental health and resilience we believe that students and staff must be equipped with practical tools and resources that encourage behaviour change and the active use of coping skills
We use the power of visuals, education and learning to encourage people to adopt a proactive attitude towards looking after their mental health
Our hybrid programme includes delivery for staff and access to an online curriculum of applied and practical resources for learners. Resources are catered towards the needs of students and have been developed in an engaging and accessible manner so that learning, development and growth is prioritised.
Resources that can be used as part of enrichment activities to support delivery of the HAF programme
Sustainability and impact are at the core of what we do and therefore it is important for us that we are connecting learners with resources.
