Weaving Wellbeing Journal

Below is a free Wellbeing journal made available by author Fiona Forman. We use the Wellbeing programme with the children in school and feel it is of tremendous value.

We would recommend using the journal at home to enhance the wellbeing and self - esteem of all our pupils and in particular pupils who find the current situation challenging or are experiencing heightened feelings of unease or worry. 

​For information on the Weaving Well-Being programme, including free guided meditations, check out the Outside The Box Learning Resources Ltd. website: www.otb.ie/WWB To further support your child with worries, check out Fiona’s article ‘Ideas for Supporting an Anxious Child’ here: www.otb.ie/supporting-anxious-child
