Rest Easy Training Reviews 

REST EASY was first introduced to our school as a 1 to 1 intervention for pupils.
We quickly saw the benefits and decided to adopt it as a whole school approach.
The training was relevant, straight forward and not too onerous. It enhanced the provision that we already had in place for our pupils.
We have now recruited 8 REST EASY Ambassadors in Y6. They were interviewed for their role and have carried out training. They will be facilitators of the REST EASY Approach for the whole school.
It is wonderful to see our pupils supporting one another and making a positive difference.
They are really beginning to recognise their emotions and are taking time to stop, think and ride the wave. Children can be see using the breathing techniques and further supporting themselves through mindful colouring or the use of the Worry Monster.
We hope that through the REST EASY method we will have equipped our pupils for life with a toolkit for coping with their mental health and wellbeing

Emily has supported various student activities that I led on during my role at the Cheshire & Warrington LEP.

The first one was back in Jan 20 as part of a work experience week. Emily hosted a REST Easy session with the students to help them prepare for their final presentation to a panel of employers in a Dragon's Den style pitch.

I was quite taken aback to hear from every group that the most beneficial part of their work experience programme was the time they spent with Emily.

It was truly heartwarming to see how much their confidence and self-esteem had developed over the week and that would certainly have been largely down to Emily's input.

The Rest Easy Method has been instrumental in achieving a true whole school approach to mental health and well being that is embedded into the school curriculum.
The method supports the creation of an ethos that is aimed at supporting staff, children and parents in understanding and regulating their emotions and, in turn, developing a greater sense of well-being on a daily basis.
The Rest Easy Method is not only extremely affordable but it also offers a fantastic practical approach to implementation; you literally take the method and tailor it to your own particular school wants and needs!

In my opinion this method should be used in all schools internationally as a blanket approach to develop emotional intelligence in children from a young age; I know how much I would have benefited from these teachings and I have seen first hand in several schools how big of an impact it is making to all involved !

Bravo 👏

The daily Rest Easy videos that Emily Gearing has been sharing have been a godsend for both myself and my students over this lockdown.

Emily's relaxed and accessible delivery has helped me focus on areas of my own mental health that have suffered during these unprecedented times; such as mindful and CBT techniques for anxiety, depression, work/life balance and our inner dialogue with ourselves.

I have used some of Emily's videos also to inform some of my personal development sessions with my adult learners with learning difficulties, who have been learning about mindfulness recently; and they have found these videos both accessible and invaluable.

Many thanks to Emily and the Rest Easy team for all your hard work.

Rest Easy Training have been supporting Omega, the National Association for End of Life Care for some time.
They have written a helpful article for Omega's newsletter and allowed us to share many useful relevant videos which will help our clients immensely.
Omega's clients are often bereaved, caring for a loved one at end of life or at end of life themselves so advice on mindfulness and self care will help them through incredibly difficult times.
Thank you all at Rest Easy Training for supporting so many people in need.
