what is iheart?

iheart stands for Innate Health Education and Resilience Training, a programme specifically
developed to help young people uncover their innate resilience and mental wellbeing. Iheart teaches the foundation of wellbeing as being innate and available to us all, already. A White Paper has recently been approved about iheart and its successful principles. It is hoped that this will be released by January 2021.

THE IHEART VISION ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH THAT OF RISE SPACE:

Both RISE SPACE and iheart are intent on a paradigm shift in Mental Health Education and youth work, so that all young people learn to uncover their innate wellbeing and potential to become resilient, contributing members of society.

WHAT IS IHEART’S CORE MESSAGE? 

When it comes to the mental health crisis enveloping our society, there is a huge emphasis on putting out fires. At iheart, we believe in preventing fires. 

Our transformative approach to supporting young people, teachers and parents is based on our core belief that: ‘we have everything we need inside us’ which is uniquely focused on mental wellness, prevention and education.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT OUR APPROACH?

Prevention: We look to prevent fires, rather than put out fires. 
‍Health: We believe in mental wellness, not mental illness. 
‍Education: We educate people about their innate wellbeing, going beyond awareness.

WHAT ARE THE IHEART PRINCIPLES?

The iheart Principles describe how the human psychological system is an intelligent system based on a clear logic that explains the source of all feeling states, emotions and felt experiences. This system has wellbeing built into it and is always working in a logical way, which enables us to self-correct and reconnect with our wellbeing.

WHAT WE TEACH

Our innovative educational approach teaches young people about their innate resilience and wellbeing, empowering them with the confidence to overcome challenges and fulfil their potential.

iheart, which stands for Innate Health Education and Resilience Training, is underpinned by an overarching question of enquiry: 

‍Do you think someone, or something, is putting a feeling in you? The answer to this question, either ‘yes’ or ‘no’, acts as a compass, informing us if we are on or off track and reconnects us with our innate wellbeing and resilience.
‍

WHY DO THE IHEART PRINCIPLES MATTER – WHAT DIFFERENCE DO THEY MAKE?

These Principles teach us that mental health and wellbeing – which includes deeper unconditional feelings of hope, peace of mind, kindness, gratitude, security, motivation, wisdom and resilience – is innate and available to all people, crucially informing us that: 

WHAT IS THE IHEART CURRICULUM?

A preventative mental health education programme for young people aged 9-19 delivered over the course of 11 group sessions. Built on a scaffolded approach to learning, each session has its own clear learning objective and a mix of interactive discussions, activities, self-reflections, summary slides, animations, videos and group exercises. The curriculum shares a new way to understand the mind and why we think, feel and behave the way we do, that our wellbeing is innate and uses this to address many of the challenges faced by young people; Stress, anxiety, worry, depression, success and achievement, Motivation, relationships, self-image, bullying, social media.
