Growing Minds with Kirstin offers bespoke Bronze Mindfulness and Wellbeing for the DofE Skills section. This entry level online programme supports young people to build confidence, resilience and self awareness through structured, manageable activities completed over 3 months, with an assessor’s report completed and uploaded direct to the eDofE at programme completion.
Participants explore how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected and learn simple strategies to support emotional wellbeing in everyday life. Content is engaging and age appropriate, using short videos, readings, diagrams and illustrations to support understanding. Each unit includes three short questions which must be completed on the website. Completing the questions forms part of the required evidence for the DofE Skills section. At specific points in the course, participants are asked to upload a photo where clearly directed.
There are only a small number of uploads across the course. The course is completed fully online, allowing participants to work independently around school and other commitments. Remote tutor support is included throughout.
