Mental health in the adult starts as mental health in the child.

There is power in children being able to name their emotions and regulate them where needed. These skills will help them grow into resilient adults.
 
There’s a Happy Moon in My Side has been written specifically to support parents, caregivers, counsellors and teachers to instil well-being principles in children.

There's a Happy Moon in my Side

“One morning, when Lucy woke up, there was a Happy Moon in her side.”

This begins Lucy’s journey with her Happy Moon. She discovers the moon is a best friend-kind-of-moon who helps her in fun times and difficult times. The Happy Moon understands what she is feeling, helps her to see things differently, and suggests useful actions to take.

Written by Mind Health founder, coach and counsellor, Richard Black, and beautifully illustrated by Tepene Marsden, you will learn how to discover your very own Happy Moon.

Also included are tools for parents, carers, and educators to help your child’s Happy Moon shine, and grow their wellbeing and resilience.

Testimonials

“Since engaging the services of Mind Health, we have seen a drop from at least 80% of staff using their full 5 days annual sick leave to less than 50%. Staff have also become more proactive in their mental wellbeing. There is an increase in staff accepting our offer of Mind Health coaching and counselling sessions, for pre-emptive rather than reactive reasons.”
Israel Cooper
“Our business, home. has hosted Richard Black for 3 sessions after work hours to present on building resilience, communication and dealing with pressure and stress. These sessions have been incredibly well received by our staff and build partners. Richard has a highly dynamic and engaging way of presenting tough topics with humour and clarity and provides valuable tools to take away and apply to work and home life.”
Israel & Jessica Cooper
“I had a meeting with Richard via Zoom. Just to let you know he is still totally amazing and I’m so impressed how helpful he is, better than any other EAP I’ve had. I appreciate the support I’m been given. Thank you”
Employee
“Through my coaching sessions, I recognised that my past hurts were distorting my current perceptions of life, and my emotions did not need to define (or dictate) who I was. The Mind Health Principles helped me acknowledge that I had the power to choose healing, it provided me coping skills I had never learned and it ultimately empowered me to see that I could choose to either thrive in life or stay in bondage to my past. I highly recommend these principles, they are great tools to add to anyones emotional and mental toolbox.”
Coaching Client
“The Forte team found the Mind Health presentations by Richard Black both engaging and enlightening, providing a gold mine of material relevant to everyday situations.”
Nicola Fogden-SmithDIRECTOR OF FORTE
“The tools we have both learnt are really benefiting our family and personal growth. Thank you so much, Richard! There is such a need for the practical things you are teaching. We would fully recommend Richard and what he does.”
