Schools

Helping young people develop the skills to navigate school, university and life

Education is about more than academic achievement. Schools also play an important role in helping young people understand themselves, manage pressure, navigate challenge and become increasingly independent.

Since 2009, trulyBalance has worked with schools and young people to develop practical skills that support resilience, self-regulation, wellbeing and learning.

Support is available for students, teachers and staff through student programmes, workshops, assemblies and professional development.

beChill® for Secondary Schools

Building resilience, self-regulation and calm confidence

The teenage years bring increasing academic expectations alongside significant social, emotional and developmental change. Learning how to manage yourself through this period is an important part of preparing for life beyond school.

beChill® Exams and beChill® Life help young people understand themselves, recognise and regulate their responses to pressure, and develop the confidence to embrace challenge, make thoughtful choices and increasingly trust their own ability to navigate what comes next.

Students develop practical skills to support:

  • managing stress and academic pressure
  • concentration and attention
  • emotional self-regulation
  • confidence and supportive self-talk
  • sleep and recovery
  • motivation and healthy habits
  • greater self-awareness and independence

Both programmes are grounded in Sophrology and draw on neuroscience, positive psychology, mindfulness and principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to strengthen self-awareness, resilience and wellbeing and support lasting behaviour change.

For students aged 11–18

beChill® programmes can be delivered in school, as an extracurricular programme or in preparation for examination periods.

Primary Students

Settle In & Focus

Young children also benefit from learning simple ways to settle themselves, focus their attention and become more aware of their bodies and emotions.

Settle In & Focus introduces age-appropriate Sophrology practices using breathing, gentle movement, stillness and visualisation. Teachers can then integrate selected practices into the natural rhythm of the school day, particularly around transitions, after breaks or before periods requiring greater concentration.

The programme can be delivered directly to students or taught to teachers for use within their classrooms.

I just wanted to say thank you for this one, Annette was great, she pitched her talk at exactly the right level and got a serious round of applause at the end.

“I have battled in the past to fall asleep. Since using the breathing and basic sophronisation I drop off quite quickly.”

“I found the workshop very insightful and useful as it had practical strategies we can take away with us.”
