5 Ways To Wellbeing

The 5 Ways to Wellbeing are – Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give, Take Notice.

 

They help people take care of their mental health and wellbeing. Regularly practising the Five Ways is beneficial for everyone – whether you have a mental health problem or not.

 

Why the 5 Ways work:

  • Connect: Strengthening relationships with others and feeling close to and valued by others, including at work, is critical to boosting wellbeing.
  • Keep Learning: Being curious and seeking out new experiences at work and in life more generally positively stimulates the brain.
  • Be Active: Being physically active, including at work, improves physical health and can improve mood and wellbeing and decrease stress, depression and anxiety.
  • Give: Carrying out acts of kindness, whether small or large, can increase happiness, life satisfaction and general sense of wellbeing.
  • Take Notice: Paying more attention to the present moment, to thoughts and feelings and to the world around, boosts our wellbeing.

Supporting your child at home

Here are two recommendations from our school nurse to help parents at home with their child’s

mental health and wellbeing.

It helps children explore feelings around school, family, friends, the world and much, much more.

Access support by downloading the Ollee app.
