Emotional Health & Children's Learning

At Jigsaw we are passionate about improving and sustaining children’s emotional health, emotional literacy and mental health, as we believe these to be absolutely vital to accessing learning, and to better life chances.

Jigsaw is an evidence-based PSHE programme with mindfulness philosophy and practice woven throughout. This session defines emotional and mental health, considers the correlation between this and capacity to learn, and most importantly suggests how schools can work best for children. Philosophy and practice combine in these sessions.

Jigsaw Families Programme

If your School/Setting would like to find out more about the Jigsaw Families Programme, we run Try Before You Buy sessions as an opportunity for you to hear and understand more about this unique Programme. This is where you will join in a normal training session (as below) but will not be put through the formal Accreditation Process. There will be time for you to ask questions about Jigsaw Families and uncover the benefits of incorporating the Programme into your School/Setting.

These sessions are designed to equip you with…

Up-to-date knowledge of the Jigsaw Families Programme
Understanding of how to deliver the Programme in an age/stage appropriate way and what can be achieved for children and their families
Familiarity with and confidence in, using the Jigsaw Families Programme materials and online materials

The training is led by specially trained Jigsaw Families Programme Consultants who are all experienced teachers, working with children and families.

We schedule training sessions ahead of time for when you would normally teach an associated subject or Jigsaw Puzzle so you can deliver lessons with greater confidence. Therefore, training dates may not be listed for ALL the subjects below at the same time. We will list sessions here as soon as they become available for you to book.
