feeling our stories

Wellbeing & Mental Health Storytelling 

Ever wondered how Jack felt about selling his best friend, Cow? What Elmer knows about being himself, or why we’re happier when we’re allowed to be a Weirdo? Would your class benefit from discussing fear and depression through exploring and acting out Black Dog, or learning about self-esteem and how to work for a better world through The Tin Forest?

Our Feeling Stories workshops take well-known children’s stories and focus on key aspects of mental health and wellbeing that are inherent within the texts.  We use age-appropriate stories and work with imagination, play, performance and storytelling to explore wellbeing and mental health in creative ways.

We work to select stories that are a good match for both the age and needs of your class. We’d love to have a discussion about what you’d like to explore – from friendship and tolerance, to self-acceptance of our own emotions.
