Nick is a former primary school teacher, here in the UK, he’s the founder of CHI Education – Creating Healthy Individuals and runs a Mental Health First Aid course for teenagers.

Nick’s mission is to help young people develop self-confidence by taking control of their own mental wellbeing. Nick has won an award for his programme, has written four books so far on mindfulness and works with schools to help children build emotional resilience to give them the best starting chance in life.

In this episode we talked about the education system and how it often fails those who need help the most. We also discussed how it could be redesigned to bring out the best in those children who’ve had a difficult start in life or aren’t yet ready to be pushed academically.

We also spoke about the benefits of spending quality time outdoors learning kinaesthetically through doing creative things.

I hope you enjoy the episode! 😊
