In 2024–25, over 829,000 children in England had contact with NHS-funded mental health services—an increase of more than 315,000 since the Long Term Plan began.
This rising demand is reflected in surging crisis referrals, long waits (with nearly 79,000 young people waiting over a year), and even children being sent miles from home for care.
At Happy Mojos, we’re committed to early support and resilience-building to meet this growing need. Our Rise & Shine and Stretch & Shine programmes give children strategies to manage stress, grow confidence, and build resilience. 🌈

🌿 Embrace Nature This Half Term 🌿
Here are our top 3 activities to enjoy outdoors with the little ones:
1️⃣ Take a Wellie Walk – wander through the woods, crunching crisp leaves beneath your feet and discovering hidden treasures like moss, mushrooms, and fallen pinecones.
2️⃣ Get Creative with Nature Crafts – explore, collect, and craft using eco-friendly materials. Transform your finds into a mobile, a den, or a beautiful piece of art.
3️⃣ Indulge in Forest Bathing – pause and breathe beneath the tree canopy, feeling the gentle embrace of nature. Lean against a tree, let it support you, or even give it a warm hug.
Make this half term a celebration of mindfulness, creativity, and the restorative power of nature! 🌈💛

✨ “I Am Capable, I Am Enough” ✨
Remind your child that they have everything they need within themselves to face challenges, try new things, and grow every day. Celebrate their unique strengths, encourage self-belief, and show them that their worth is never defined by what they do—but by who they are. 💛

🌍 World Mental Health Day 💚
This year’s theme from the World Federation for Mental Health is Access to Services – a vital reminder that every child and family should have the support they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
Access means:
✨ Early help – spotting challenges before they become bigger struggles.
✨ Inclusive support – ensuring services welcome all children, including those who are neurodiverse or from disadvantaged backgrounds.
✨ Community care – schools, charities, and local organisations working together to provide safe spaces for wellbeing.
At home, you can support by:
💚 Listening without judgement
💚 Encouraging open conversations about feelings
💚 Practising small daily mindfulness habits as a family
📌 If your child needs more support, here are some trusted services:
– support for under 18s, available 24/7 by calling 0800 1111 or speaking to a counsellor 1-2-1 online.
– advice and support for young people up to age 25.
– specialist services for children and young people across the UK.
– free, confidential support and counselling for under 25s.
Together, we can create a world where every child has both the tools at home and the right services in their community to feel safe, supported, and able to shine. 🌈

Supporting children, teens and families well-being. Working towards happy, healthy, independent young minds. Empowering our next generation to be the best they can be through holistic Mental Health support, movement therapy, mindfulness and CBT. 😊 Supporting parents and schools on their journey.
I’ve always had a thirst for nurturing the soul and those of others. I would give anything a go if it meant I could develop myself in some way or another. That was very much the thread of my childhood. Self-discovery was very much the reason for taking a break from education. Travelling the world was on my agenda. Such beautiful diversity.
Upon my return I studied a degree in education with a focus in pastoral care, philosophy and meta-cognition. Bringing this into my teaching was invaluable to the young minds that I had the pleasure in teaching.
But it wasn’t until 11 years into my career that things took a change in my whole world. A dear friend took her own life. Unbeknown to anyone, she suffered in silence with her mental health. This rocked the very depths of my world. I struggled to detach from this in order to get on with life and I became critically aware of my role as a mother, as a wife and as a teacher. If this tragic event can happen to someone who was deemed so very strong, happy and content then, who else is masking how they are truly feeling? Who else is trying to cope with their daily lives?
I also felt a burning guilt; as a teacher, was I adding to the children’s stress, their need to be validated and a pressure to succeed? Was I fundamentally supporting their emotional and mental wellbeing?
Upon a lengthy reflection, I very much felt the answer was a big, juicy no. This was largely due to unrealistic educational expectations and targets for most, and, institutionalised behavioural conditioning which, was all down to the very structure and fabric of our education system. I had realised that I had gotten somewhat lost and was in a system that I very much did not agree with.
The next significant moment was a moment of synchronicity. I met a Tai Chi master who came to teach my class. We all embraced this lovely, new experience. It was then I realised the possibilities of Tai Chi and how it could tick all my boxes in relation to supporting children’s social, emotional, mental and personal wellbeing.
I am now a qualified Youth Mental Health First-Aider, Chi for Children, Qigong and Mindfulness instructor. I no longer teach as a class teacher but am on a journey of empowering young children to think and feel great, reaching out to families to support their social. emotional, mental, personal and physical wellbeing.
I ensure that the mental health support not only equips children with life skills but supports the wellness of their families too.
So, this is where I want to be; making a difference, an empowering difference to young lives; to our next Generation. Generation Be.
