The Keys to Happier Living Toolkit is an engaging, accessible and evidence-based programme to promote the emotional wellbeing and resilience of children aged 7-11
The Toolkit is based on the Action for Happiness Ten Keys to Happier Living framework and a pilot project showed that it led to significant improvements in wellbeing relative to a control group. The toolkit has also been awarded the PSHE Association Quality Mark.
The Keys to Happier Living Resource Pack for schools consists of:
"A fantastic toolkit which has been shown to bring considerable benefits. Teachers will especially appreciate the huge array of ideas and creative resources. This program fills a vitally important gap in our schools and I highly recommend it" ~ Sir Anthony Seldon

Schools have a vital role in helping children develop the capabilities to lead happy lives
Recent decades have seen big increases in the proportion of young people with emotional and behavioural issues. Mental health problems are increasingly prevalent, with 20% of children experiencing such issues each year. These problems affect other areas of a child's life and also increase the likelihood of mental health difficulties later on in adult life.
Schools experience the day-to-day reality of these issues but are also vital in combating them and promoting good emotional health. Our vision is for a movement of schools placing happiness and well-being at the heart of their ethos and culture, and proactively sharing their approaches with others.
