Abstract
Funded by the Department for Education, Education for Wellbeing is one of England's largest research programmes for school-based mental health interventions. The aim of the programme was to evaluate pioneering ways of supporting the mental wellbeing of pupils. The programme was split into two trials: AWARE (Approaches for Wellbeing and Mental Health Literacy: Research in Education), tested in secondary school settings, and INSPIRE (INterventions in Schools for Promoting Wellbeing: Research in Education), tested in both primary and secondary school settings (see AWARE Impact Findings and INSPIRE Impact Findings for more detail). Recruitment was conducted in three waves (2018, 2019, 2022). This briefing reports findings from a qualitative investigation into children’s experiences of school-based Mindfulness-based exercises and Relaxation techniques in Wave 1. Both interventions were delivered on a universal basis as part of the Education for Wellbeing programme. Other briefings relating to this programme can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/education-for-wellbeing-programmefindings. Many children within the qualitative research subsample reported benefits of the Mindfulness-based exercises and Relaxation techniques on their mental health and wellbeing, as well as on classroom dynamics, including learning, behaviour, and peer relationships. However, some also experienced annoyance, stress, or physical discomfort from the activities.
