A foundation for wellbeing, mental health and success in life

Mental health and wellbeing are vitally important issues in our society today. The media is full of stories of tragedy and loss, as the pressures of life take their toll. 

The impact of Covid19 has heightened these challenges for many families and individuals, with significant job losses in a number of key sectors, a continuing housing crisis in Auckland, appalling child poverty levels, and domestic violence on the rise.

It’s well reported New Zealand holds the unenviable status of having the highest youth suicide rate in the developed world which we as a nation and successive governments have struggled to address. 

How do we as a community deal with these alarming statistics? Access to affordable and appropriate counselling, helplines and support systems are critical. Increased public and private funding to the areas that need it, is also important.

At InnerFit NZ we take an holistic approach through learning and development with a return to evidence based, curriculum aligned character education for our children. 

So many of our children are lacking in key character traits like perseverance, resilience, self-control and respect. 

With few coping strategies, life challenges can become too much to handle, resulting, if not helped, in these high suicide rates and the increasing need for mental health support.

Overseas studies have shown that when the character is developed, mental health is improved and achievement quickly follows. 

InnerFit is a charitable trust providing resources for teachers for character development in our children’s formative years supporting their mental health and wellbeing.

Our educational tools for teachers use games and content to build good character traits. These can then be integrated with other subjects to further embed the behaviours. 

Using this programme, children are confident, more settled and better behaved, leading to a lift in academic achievement which enhances self-worth, personal responsibility and which equips our kids have the ability to make  better choices throughout life, especially when life isn’t easy.

InnerFit supports teachers with ENERGISE, an engaging and empowering seminar and workshop that informs teachers with an understanding of their energy sources, how we leak energy through stress, frustration, imbalance and fatigue and then equips teachers with tools, strategies and resources to manage time, energy levels and their personal mental wellbeing. 

ENERGISE has a positive impact on the staffroom and team unity, as well as assisting teachers to be their best in the classroom.
