Every Story Matters

Verbal Wellbeing is a new way to build better emotional wellbeing and resilience in the classroom by integrating and harnessing the power of storytelling, psychology and data to support children & young people.

Our digital platform contains different programmes each with a series of specially treated short story collections for a range of ages and abilities that can be read aloud together and are combined with evidence based therapy type questions that will spark an insightful, reflective conversation.

Our Model

Verbal Wellbeing is a mental health literacy programme that integrates & harnesses the power of behavioural science with brilliant stories, great technology and data to support children & young people

Psychology

Our programmes are developed using evidence-based approaches and scientifically-proven principles, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Social Learning theory (SLT) that help people build sustainable emotional wellbeing habits which last a lifetime.

1. Storytelling

Each programme contains a collection of curated, tested & highly engaging short stories for people to read together. Each story is embedded with a series of guided, therapeutic questions/activities that aim to stimulate purposeful conversations about mental & emotional health

2. Technology

Our library of enjoyable and engaging therapeutic story collections is accessible via a flexible, self-serve delivery platform with a customised user dashboard that takes the guesswork out of understanding your pupils’ behaviour. The technology enables you to monitor, analyse and report pupils’ emotional & mental wellbeing helping you to tailor your work to their needs

3. Benefits

Verbal Wellbeing gives you the opportunity to set distractions aside and create a well needed safe space where young people can openly discuss thoughts, express feelings and boost wellbeing.
