Foundation For Positive Mental Health

We are a charity dedicated to promoting skills training for positive mental health, to enhance everyday wellbeing, increase resilience to, and recovery from, mental health difficulties. We can all learn how to do this by using simple exercises such as breath control and sports mind training techniques and we are passionate about making these skills available to everyone. We run training workshops for professionals and provide resources, including the Feeling Good App which includes the evidence based audios Positive Mental Training programme, This modular programme is a series of 12 audios that combine deep mind/body relaxation with visualisation and positive priming to effectively help you let go of worries, lift mood and see a positive future. The Feeling Good App is used to build resilience and recovery from distress in NHS staff and patients, in workplaces, universities and schools. The Feeling Good App is NHS digital accredited, and one of the apps recommended on Every Mind Matters, Public Health England’s One mind mental health campaign website. Our work with the University of Edinburgh and the Feeling Good App won first prize in the Herald Higher Education award for student welfare in 2019, and as one of the proud winners of the recent Future Ready Fund (an initiative by Nesta, a global innovation foundation supporting high-potential, early-stage projects tackling significant contemporary challenges), we are delighted to say that we are now helping schools in the UK enhance pupils’ skills with a pioneering, research-based, non-stigmatising approach designed to embed non-cognitive skills, such as resilience, into the classroom and curriculum.
