Welcome to our BrightPaths resource hub, a collection of tools and guidance we’ve shared through our newsletters and social channels to support emotional wellbeing.
You’ll find practical tools to help children and young people explore emotions, build regulation skills and access further support.
We’re especially grateful to our volunteers Megan and Natalea, who have thoughtfully created these resources and whose creativity and commitment help us reach more families with practical support. We’re delighted to share their work more widely here.

BrightPaths wellbeing pack
This wellbeing pack is a free set of short, easy-to-use activities designed to support children’s emotional awareness, regulation, and confidence. Developed to coincide with Children’s Mental Health Week, the pack is intended to be used at any time, whenever a child needs support with feelings, stress, or overwhelm.
The activities are particularly suited to neurodivergent children, offering clear, practical ways to understand what’s happening in their body and mind. Children can engage through writing, drawing, talking, or quiet reflection, depending on what feels most accessible for them.
The pack can be used at home, in school, or in other support settings. There is no fixed order and no expectation to complete every activity. Families and professionals can dip in and out, repeat pages, or focus on the tools that are most helpful in that moment.

No-equipment sensory circuits guide
Sensory circuits are short sequences of physical activities designed to optimise a child’s level of alertness, helping them feel ready to focus and engage with learning. They can be particularly beneficial for children with sensory processing differences and difficulties with concentrating, but are overall useful for all children.
The activities can be adapted to suit individual needs and should always be led at the child’s pace. When used consistently, sensory circuits can support regulation, concentration, and emotional wellbeing at the start of the school day.
