Mind With Heart

Mind with Heart is a UK-based charity that trains teachers and students in sustainable wellbeing, emotional health and social connection. It describes itself as an international charity dedicated to an education in 'inner values', supporting schools in their efforts to be genuinely flourishing places. Its vision is a world where wellbeing, emotional health and positive relationships are at the heart of all education communities, so that young people and their educators can flourish and build a more compassionate society.

The charity gives young people and their educators researched, mindfulness-based tools for emotional health, social connection and a positive future. Its approach starts with staff: self-care, self-regulation and emotional intelligence in teachers come first, so they can pass these skills on to students. After three years of working together, schools are meant to be able to continue on their own. The curricula and trainings are designed and delivered by trainers with over ten years of experience practising these tools and presenting them in an educational context.

Its programmes include Connected Teachers (self-care and calm for staff), Connected with Myself (steps to mental wellbeing for teens) and Connected with Others (healthy relationships for teens), alongside a whole-school approach, online courses and free educational materials for educators. The charity works with schools in the UK, France, Luxembourg and Australia, and has separate pages in English, French and German, and an Australian one. Its French pages name founder and trainer Vinciane Rycroft, who holds a master's in education sciences and has 25 years of meditation experience, together with trainers Julia Pruy and Sophie Tessier.
