A science-informed intervention for KS3 & KS4 that helps young people manage academic pressure and emotional overwhelm.
Conscious wellbeing practices rooted in Neuroscience - always Trauma Informed
Our Practices
The thinking brain is still developing throughout secondary school. Stress systems are highly active during adolescence. Academic, social and emotional demands are intense and often simultaneous. Young people are frequently overwhelmed and have not been given the tools to manage it. NAAVA gives them those tools. Grounded in neuroscience. Delivered in a language that respects their intelligence.

What a Session Looks Like
The framing is deliberately grounded in neuroscience rather than wellness. Young people respond to understanding why something works, not just being told to do it. Sessions can be delivered to whole classes, year groups, pastoral groups or targeted SEMH cohorts. Every session ends with a Daily Tool for use in form time, at home or in the moment.
​
Practical, science-backed and designed for young people who are sceptical of wellbeing.
