Testimonials
Frensham Heights:
Pillars of Wellbeing
"Jez visited our school and delivered a really engaging and interactive session with our Year 10 and 11 students.
The talk was thoughtful and ideas around values-led wellbeing resonated with our young people. The students also enjoyed the active workshop which helped them see the benefit of physical activity to mental health."
Jack Talman, DSL & Head of PSHE
Evendons Primary:
Assembly on Resilience
"It was great to have Jez in talking to the students [in years 3 - 6] about practical examples of resilience.
Jez had helped me get through my first Tough Mudder event a few weeks beforehand, so he used that story and some of the obstacles as metaphors to engage the students. [...] It was great! He even got the students involved, as some of them took part in the Kids' Tough Mudder event. The key takeaway was that you can overcome obstacles in life with resilience."
Stacey Read, Head
Brunel University:
Mental Health Workshop
"The Co-Innovate programme at Brunel University London has successfully delivered collaborations between academia and industry since 2012.
Thank you to business like youHQ, for coming on campus and presenting projects to our students and for choosing to collaborate with Computer Science Postgraduate students. We look forward to welcoming youHQ back in campus in the next academic year."

Stamford Schools:
Pillars of Wellbeing
"Great to welcome Jez Belas from youHQ to talk to our Y12s and Y13s about the pillars of wellbeing. Lots of great conversations today in our seminar groups about how we can look after ourselves!
Highly recommend Jez as a speaker - very positive reviews from staff and students!"
Matt Phillips, Chaplain
Churches College: 6th Form Wellbeing
Talking to our year 12 students, Jez got us motivated for 'movement for mental health'. His personal stories and anecdotes got us engaged. He developed the theme bringing together up to date research, current trends and scientific ideas with great insight and the session concluded with an open time of questions and answers.
Jez created a safe environment where the students felt comfortable and confident about sharing their thoughts and asking questions. After the seminar Jez stayed and joined us for our 'games lesson'. Turns out he knows a thing or two about cricket as well. Its always a good sign when the students are so enthusiastic to have a chat with a visiting speaker after their presentation. Thank you, Jez.

Our classes can take place at a time convenient to you and can be made bespoke to your needs. They can be held either online or face-to-face.
Why did we create these wellbeing and personal development classes?
Our innovative platform has been supporting and identifying students in need since 2020. The wellbeing data gathered by youHQ has been incredibly effective, highlighting individual cases and illustrating a wider picture across the whole-school community.
With youHQ's insights, schools have been able to discover the issues affecting their students and teachers. Our live wellbeing and personal development classes were founded to help address these topics.
What's the youHQ difference?
