Winning Wellbeing is a Junior Cycle publication that has been written to support the development of mental, emotional and physical wellbeing in students.

Simple structure: A straightforward, consistent four-page structure in each lesson makes it easy to follow. Achievable and flexible: The book is structured with the school calendar in mind. There are 28 short lessons – achievable within a class and within the school year. Engaging: A strong emphasis on experiential learning and reflection will help students to develop wellbeing skills that they can take with them into later school and adult life. Variety and choice: Every lesson offers a range of activities, so you can select the activities that are best suited to your class. Teacher support: The lessons have been carefully written to support teachers of all experience levels to cover sometimes serious, always important topics.
