Pause Breathe Smile
We are so excited to be chosen as an affiliate charity of Round the Bays for 2024. Since partnering with Southern Cross in 2020, the Pause Breathe Smile programme reached one-in-four school-aged kids (over 125,000 children aged 5 to 12), through training almost 9,000 educators in more than 20% of primary and intermediate schools nationwide.
Our mission, to nurture half a million health minds, is off to a great start but we know there is more work to do. Being an affiliate charity of Round the Bays will help us deliver our knowledge, support and resources to even more tamariki.
Pause Breathe Smile is a mind health programme designed to equip children aged five to 12 with tools to manage the ups and downs of life and set them up for a healthy future. Delivered in schools, by teachers, it is evidence based, curriculum-aligned and funded by Southern Cross. Our purpose is to help create a healthier New Zealand by equipping tamariki with mind health skills. We believe that every child deserves to thrive and not just survive.
For our part, Pause Breathe Smile helps equip tamariki with awesome mental wellbeing skills to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing, uncertain world. Skills like learning how to regulate emotions, build self-awareness and relate positively to others.
We know that learning these skills early in life can help kids thrive now and in the future.
