About
Let's Connect aims to initiate deeper connections between educators and mentors with young minds. Through conversational cards that address the four main areas of wellbeing, open conversations and connections will be made where both mentors and young people will feel supported and understood.
Connecting on a deeper level can be awkward and uncomfortable, Let's Connect provides a fun way to bridge this gap. By embracing this resource, long lasting connections will be made.
Let's Connect is inspired by the Māori holistic wellbeing model, Te Whare Tapa Whā. Each pack of cards focuses on strengthening one of the four areas of our wellbeing. These include the social wellbeing, emotional & mental wellbeing, spiritual wellbeing and physical wellbeing.
This resource provides support for teachers, counsellors, youth workers, parents or any type of mentor when aiming to connect with a young individual.
Connect Cards
The Connect Cards include a range of questions centred around getting to know each other. Young people are more likely to feel comfortable to open up on a deeper level, if they have started by sharing the surface level details about themselves.
Emotion Cards
The Emotion Cards feature 48 cards displaying a feeling or emotion, paired with an illustration which visually represents the word. It can often be hard to match how you are feeling to an emotion. This pack of cards helps to navigate this, creating a fun way to talk about how the young person is feeling.
Statement Cards
The Statement Cards contain various prompts and phrases which leave room for interpretation. These cards aim to initiate conversations surrounding the young person's opinions and beliefs in relation to topics such as their self-worth, their outlook on life and the world around them.
Action Cards
The Action Cards include a range of tasks and activities to complete both with their mentor or throughout the week. This pack aims to inspire positive practices such as physical activity, stress management and creating healthy habits.
