**“Be Kind to Your Mind” classroom posters will support emotional wellbeing and positive coping among students**

WISH officially handed over a set of “Be Kind to Your Mind” mental health posters to Parham Primary School on Friday, June 26, 2026, as part of its ongoing work to promote emotional wellbeing, self-care, and mental health awareness among children and young people.

The posters, which form part of WISH’s UNESCO-supported grant project, were presented to Principal Gayle Walter by WISH Founder Chaneil Imhoff during the official launch of the Hopeful Hearts Foundation and WISH mural at the school.

The materials are intended to be displayed in classrooms and outdoor learning spaces when the new school year begins in September. They were designed to help students better understand their emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and become more familiar with positive mental health language in their everyday school environment.

Speaking at the handover, Imhoff said it is important for children to be given tools that help them recognise, understand, and cope with their emotions from an early age.

“Children need to understand that emotions are a normal part of life, but they also need to know how to cope with what they feel in healthy ways,” said Imhoff. “These posters are simple, child-friendly reminders that encourage self-awareness, kindness, and emotional regulation. If we want to build healthier communities, we have to begin by supporting the mental and emotional development of our children.”

Imhoff also noted the personal significance of contributing to Parham Primary School, sharing that the institution holds a special place in her life and family history.
