About Connect PSHE
Over the past 4 years a group of educational and clinical psychologists, and teachers, in Bristol have developed a primary school PSHE curriculum based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, a mindfulness-based approach to wellbeing. An exciting new approach for children has recently emerged– the DNA-V model– providing a way of talking about thoughts, feelings and behaviour that positively impacts wellbeing.
Connect is guided by the scientific literature- psychologically healthy people tend engage in 6 behaviours (connecting with others, challenging oneself, giving to others, exercising, embracing the moment and self-care).
We train teaching staff in the DNA-V model, and are committed to providing a curriculum that really works. We have an active Connect research program to measure it’s impact on wellbeing, behaviour, academic performance, and more.
We hope that you join us on this journey, as we equip our children with better skills for navigating the trickiness of life.
