It’s time for change

Mental health disorders are affecting almost 20% of the population, and all research points to the fact that prevention is much more effective than cure and that developing positive daily habits is key.

We need to equip children with the tools they need to navigate this ever-changing world, helping them become optimistic and resilient, become kinder and more compassionate, and enjoy higher self-esteem. This can be done with just 10 minutes a day allocated to the teaching of mental health and wellbeing strategies in schools.

It’s time for change. Join us, The Happy Confident Company, and join our movement by signing our petition now.

Why we launched this petition

The Happy Confident Company develops programmes and resources for children, families and schools to improve the happiness and confidence of children.  

We believe that emotional intelligence and life skills such as self-belief, resilience, and compassion are essential to help children thrive. These skills need to be taught both in schools and at home.

And it takes only 10 focused minutes a day using the right tools to have a positive, profound impact on children, as proven by the tens of thousands of families and schools that already use our resources. We launched this campaign because 10 minutes a day can really transform our society.

Sign the Petition

I, the aforementioned alongside The Happy Confident Company, am calling on the UK government and education authorities to make statutory the teaching of mental health and wellbeing strategies from the early years.

Early intervention is essential to help children better cope with the pressures they are facing. 10 minutes of mental health and wellbeing initiatives a day will equip children with the tools they need to navigate this ever changing world and help them become more optimistic and resilient, be kinder and more compassionate and have higher self-esteem.
