The beginnings of HappyYou

The World Health Organisation has highlighted the urgent need to support children and their families in developing the emotional and social skills that they need to thrive in the modern world. Strong literacy skills early in life have also been shown to reduce the risk of emotional problems later in youth. We aim to boost social and emotional health, literacy and a love of languages all through the magic of storytelling. As real-world experts, our co-founders have decades of experience working with young people and adults to improve psychological health as well as confidence with literacy. They recognised the urgent need for more engaging and enjoyable approaches to improving mental health in young people (and their families) before it becomes a problem later in life. HappyYou brings together years of knowledge, networks and passion with expertise in linguistics and entertainment. The hope is that HappyYou will give kids and families the ‘21st century skills’ they need to thrive in life, whatever it throws their way! We are always keen to meet like-minded souls and learn, so please do get in touch and tell us your story.
