Free post-lockdown online mental health workshops

Online mental health and wellbeing workshops are being offered for free to primary schools to help address the impact of the lastest Covid-19 lockdown.

The workshops have been created by Wimbledon’s Polka Theatre and are aimed at children in Reception and key stage 1, years 3 and 4, and years 5 and 6.

The dedicated children’s theatre ran in-person workshops with primary school children last autumn and the new online offering has been developed to reach a wider audience.

The videos use drama activities to bring an interactive, practical and fun approach to talking about mental health at a young age. Using the fictional story of Mo, a boy living through lockdown during the pandemic, children will be able to explore the problems and stresses he faces, making connections with their own experiences and emotional challenges.
