It is a honour to be part of ConnectEd, a team of incredible practitioners using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support educational settings.

We imagine a future in which schools enable their communities – children, staff and parents - to explore & connect with personal values & to develop the psychological skills to live their best lives.
Connect PSHE
Connect PSHE is a values-based wellbeing curriculum for primary school pupils. It was developed by Dr Duncan Gillard and Dr Nic Hooper.
It is a fun, easy to use weekly programme that teaches children key skills to promote emotional wellbeing and resilience.

It has been a real pleasure to work alongside the Square Peg Team and contribute a chapter (co-written with Dr Maddi Popoola) to their fantastic book
​
Square Pegs: Inclusivity, compassion and fitting in - guide for schools
​
"This book brings different perspectives and expertise together in one place, Square Pegs aims to help school leaders and staff support children (and their families) more effectively. The authors cover a wide variety of topics – including school attendance, building relationships, trauma-informed practice, and behaviour management. Featuring contributions from more than 50 individual authors, this is an accessible, dip-in, dip-out book – perfect for busy school leaders."
​
Our chapter Maslow, Relationships and Square Pegs, explores the importance of belonging, safety, emotional wellbeing and opportunity to school systems.
​
We continue to work with Square Peg & other colleagues to reduce barriers to attendance and explore innovation in education.
