Secondary Parachute Plus Mindfulness Programme
Empowering Mindfulness Programmes for Secondary Schools
Our bespoke Parachute Plus mindfulness programme for secondary schools is designed to benefit both staff and students.
It runs over six-weeks (6 x 1hr sessions) and is tailored to –
- Alleviate stress
- Reduce fatigue and improve sleep

It will teach participants to identify their causes of stress and permanently alter the way they handle potential stressful situations in the future. Mindfulness will enable participants to be reflective not reactive.
The Parachute Plus package includes –
- A short fun and engaging animated film
- A series of easy to follow videos
- A class set of books and downloadable, time-saving teaching and learning resources

They will learn a range of simple strategies that will actually enable them to rewire their brains, combat stress and reach their full potential.
