  Pause Breathe Smile with Southern Cross is a mind health programme designed to help Kiwi kids aged five to 12 learn the essential skills and tools to manage the ups and downs of life and set them up for a healthy future. It is delivered in schools, by teachers, and aligned to the New Zealand curriculum. Southern Cross, New Zealand’s leading independent health and wellness provider, has joined forces with the Pause Breathe Smile Trust and The Mental Health Foundation. Together they share a vision of equipping every child in New Zealand with the tools to achieve positive mind health. Through this partnership the Pause Breathe Smile programme will be available to primary kids aged five to 12 from October at no cost to schools. Pause Breathe Smile is the nation’s own locally designed and internationally recognised schools’ mindfulness based programme. The results are backed by research, and show that Pause Breathe Smile increases wellbeing, reduces stress, boosts conflict resolution skills and enhances self-awareness. The Pause Breathe Smile programme was developed by the Mental Health Foundation, launched in 2013 and by August 2020 had reached around 380 schools and more than 65,000 children. Show less
