Wellbeing Educational Programme

As part of the BHUK wellbeing educational programme, a Veteran Games participant visited JFS school to speak to pupils in Year 10 (300 children). This particular veteran shared his story of his ongoing rehabilitation, the part the Veteran Games has played in this and, more generally, the part developing resilience can play in supporting overall wellbeing. During the first quarter of 2023 a further 900 teenagers from a diverse mix of schools will get to hear directly from members of the UK / Israeli veteran communities and learn about the strategies they employ when coping with their own personal battles

The session was very successful, with teenagers interacting and asking questions as well as creating canvases with motivational quotes that were displayed.
