iCoach4kids is a fun and interactive coaching programme, teaching strategies for emotional self management, resilience and wellbeing to kids, teachers, support workers and parents.
The name iCoach is made up of two words, meaning "I" can "Coach" myself. With this in mind, we equip kids with the skills and beliefs to build themselves up in their heart and mind (thoughts and feelings) so they can become strong and confident, coaching themselves through life's challenges.
Fun, crazy activities and games designed to keep kids engaged and reaffirm the learning outcomes.

iCoach4kids is a fantastic programme that not only helps children understand how their brain and body works, but also teaches strategies to bring themselves back to a place of calm when they are feeling angry. Our students love the programme, and looked forward to it every week.
