WHAT TO EXPECT
FOR EVERY CHILD
As our programs are designed for schools, we understand it's absolutely essential the outcomes provided are measurable and sustainable.
We're also committed to ensuring delivery is both effective and ALL outcomes achievable for every child who participates regardless of current abilities/aspirations, or existing circumstances (home/family/personal life).
EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
Every pupil will have the understanding and awareness of how their emotions are generated. Along with the belief and tools to assess, articulate and self-regulate how they're feeling.
LEARNER ENGAGEMENT
By addressing the key influencers of a pupils attitude and behaviour (their EMOTIONS), you can expect to see measurable changes in focus, self-motivation, attention and a desire to learn.
EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT
The underlying theme of our programs are to help children raise their own aspirations, break free of personal limitations and excel beyond that which they previously believed possible.

Age Range & Student No's
Primary & secondary schools typically have a certain age group they can easily identify as having the most immediate need & would benefit the most.
We understand funds & resources are limited, so recommend starting with these students first, before progressing onto other age groups.

HOW EMOTION SWITCH WORKS
1. Designed For Schools
Developed For Life
The quality of all our lives, are determined by the quality of our emotions. However, emotions aren't tangible, they're simply the output that expresses how we feel.
This is why from the first 'LIVE' session, children discover exactly what influences their emotions with a simple formula that's as easy to remember as '2+2= 4'. Then throughout the program learn new tools and develop inner resources that empower them to be happier and healthier... FOR LIFE!

I would whole heartedly recommend other schools to take part in the project. It was evident Emotion Switch helped the children to control their own emotional state and approach life and it’s difficulties in a more calm and measured way.

WHAT THE CHILDREN THINK
97% of children rated the experience 99/100
We're so proud of how much children enjoy the program. This is essential for optimising how well they absorb and retain information.
More importantly, it helps them understand and embrace the practical application in daily life.
8/10 said the #1 reason they loved Emotion Switch, was understanding how they feel
Children's level of awareness surrounding emotions has increased in recent years. However, awareness alone, doesn't help and can often lead to confusion or overwhelm.
This is why children love the program so much, as they very quickly learn to understand 'HOW' and 'WHY' they feel the way they do.
Children naturally possess amazing levels of resourcefulness, persistence and imagination in their early years. Sadly though, even small and seemingly insignificant events can have a limiting impact on their potential that can become a recurring theme their whole life.
This is why the program also helps children to develop resilience and other essential key skills that are invaluable to their future success.

GIVE THE GIFT OF 'EMOTION SWITCH' TO CHILDREN IN YOUR AREA
Our original vision was to gift the Emotion Switch to every child at school in the U.K, but as Covid-19 gripped the world we knew this wasn't enough. We are now embracing our new challenge to gift the Emotion Switch experience to every child around the globe (at home or school).
If your organisation or business would like to get involved to sponsor a child, class or school through the program - we'd love to hear from you.
*We're currently in discussions with U.K. and Global Children's Charity Organisations to 'GIFT' the 'Emotion Switch' to the the most vulnerable children and young adults. A single class of 30 school children funded through the program enables us to donate the Emotion Switch experience to 5 children (1 child free for every 6 funded).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the program safe for vulnerable children and young adults?
YES. The program is 100% safe regardless of the students background or personal history.
Unlike 'traditional methods', the 'EMOTION SWITCH' solely focuses on helping the learner to manage their emotions without having to regress or uncover/discuss past experiences that can often lead to further trauma and prolonged suffering.
How is the safeguarding of children managed?
The safeguarding of children's emotional and physical wellbeing is absolutely paramount. This also includes keeping children safe 'ONLINE', data protection and GDPR.
We have our own measures already in place to ensure that children's safety (and privacy) is the number one priority both during and after the program. These include every member of the 'Emotion Switch' team having a current and up to date 'Enhanced DBS Certificate'. As well as understanding and adhering to our Safeguarding, Data Protection and Health & Safety Policies.
In addition, we also treat every school/organisation as an individual entity. By this, we mean that we also work closely with them to understand, adopt and adhere to their policies (including any special requirements).
Will it help to unlock a child's potential and improve motivation?
How is the program so effective, yet so simple even for young children?
We get asked this question all the time. The truth is, the program wouldn't work if it was complex.
In almost every instance, teachers and parents who have witnessed the transformation, have been amazed at just how simple the teachings of the program are. As well as how even 'they' have picked up some of the simple tools by merely witnessing the sessions in progress.
So why is this? It's because the quality of our whole lives are determined by our emotions. However, our emotions are not tangible, and they are also just the output. In other words, our emotions are simply our reaction to what we're focusing on/the meaning we give to a particular circumstance/experience.
The 'Emotion Switch' educates children (and adults) by teaching them to understand the tangible cause of their emotions. As well as developing the habit of always knowing they have both the power and ability to choose how they want to feel.
In essence, they learn how to influence the 'OUTPUT', by learning to influence the 'INPUT'.
Is the program also available and effective for adults?
YES. The program was initially designed for adults. And has been successfully used to help those enduring extreme adversity, anxiety and depression - to experience an almost instantaneous improvement in both their Emotional and Physical wellbeing.
The key principles in the program have been used to rapidly transform the health and wellbeing of teenagers and adults that had previously endured months (often years) of suffering. Many of whom had already tried traditional approaches such as counselling and/or anti-depressants.
Will Emotion Switch prevent children/teenagers feeling helpless in later life?
This is a very significant issue that often goes unaddressed until it's TOO LATE.
The number of young teenagers and adults experiencing extreme levels of hopelessness, which can quickly escalate to feeling 'helpless' has dramatically been on the rise. It's at this point that the potential for self harm, which can then lead to 'suicidal thoughts' and even worse 'suicidal attempts' occur. And often without any warning or signs.
We need to understand that 'our thoughts are our reality'. In other words - we can all relate to times in our life when we didn't think, or genuinely believed something wouldn't work, even if we had no real evidence to suggest it wouldn't. And in many cases, there was probably an abundance of evidence to suggest what we wanted to happen - was possible, as we'd seen others do/have or achieve it before. But, regardless of this - we didn't believe it was possible or would ever happen 'for us'.
Our 'internal belief system' convinced us to feel there was no point even trying. And so, if we had no hope or felt helpless - of course, why would we even try.
In essence, it's at this stage that teenagers and young adults won't even try to ask for help because they have no hope that life could possibly be any different.
So how does 'Emotion Switch' help prevent this. And do so without directly discussing or talking about such sensitive matters with young children?
Firstly, we do not believe that educating young children or even discussing these kind of topics is appropriate.
To be honest, we're not even keen on the term 'Mental Health', to which recent government research has begun to recognise this terminology isn't helping the situation. We prefer 'emotional wellbeing'.
In essence, a huge part of our work is raising awareness of how the 'words we use' are the 'words we feel'. Just like if we constantly said 'I feel stressed' all day long, we would by default 'feel more stressed'.
This is how we're able to handle such sensitive topics with young children, without directly discussing issues such as self harm, depression, suicide etc.
The way we do this is by gently discussing relatable examples where the children may have at one time felt a little stuck. Perhaps they couldn't do something, or they had thoughts that didn't make them feel too good.
We then ask the children:
- What could you have done differently?
- Is there anyone who could have helped you?
- How long would it have taken you to get help?
In every instance, the children instantly realise that no matter what happens, no matter what we're going through - there is always someone who can help us. They also develop the inner resources to realise that whilst we may not always feel we have a CHOICE, we do always have OPTIONS. And in many cases, getting help or making progress to move away from feeling stuck - can be achieved in a matter of seconds or minutes.
Educating children on simple, non intrusive strategies like these at such a young age - means that they develop the habit of tapping into an infinite pool of inner resourcefulness, so that as they embark on new journeys through life (secondary school, college, career etc) - they're naturally searching for 'solutions' rather than focusing on 'problems'.
This by default, has the potential to dramatically reduce the risk and rise of some of the most devastating consequences associated with emotional wellbeing deficiencies.

WHY... EMOTION SWITCH?
We've all heard the saying PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN THE CURE. There's never been a time in history when this approach is more valuable than it is today. For far too long the focus has been to heavily invest and depend on intervention methods later in life (such as anti-depressants and regressive therapies) that can have devastating effects far greater than the original conditions being treated.
We now have an opportunity to use the current crisis as a catalyst for change. However, schools are under tremendous pressure to meet attainment targets, and restricted by funding constraints that would enable access to the resources children need to nurture their academic success as well as their health. This is why through whatever means possible, it is our mission to gift every child with the tools and inner resources to be happier and healthier... FOR LIFE!
