Rock & Water Wellbeing Approach

What is Rock & Water Wellbeing Approach

The Rock & Water Wellbeing Approach captures the strengths, experiences and skills of Connected Self to work collaboratively with schools to achieve wellbeing outcomes while growing a wellbeing culture within a school community.

The Rock & Water program is well known throughout school education systems around the world since it was written in the mid 1990’s. The program is founded on a psycho-physical framework, and has aspects of key philosophies such as brain gym, mindfulness and the philosophies of the “Rock & Water Program” developed by Dutch educationalist, Freerk Ykema.

The Rock & Water Wellbeing Approach aims to:

• Partner with all levels of a school community to build and maintain an authentic wellbeing culture.
• Connect a common approach, philosophy, framework, program, language and wellbeing strategy to all people in the school community.

• Support the school community collectively or individually (side by side) with a multi-disciplinary approach to program delivery.
• Unite a school community by implementing a strategic approach to wellbeing and engagement for children, young people and adults.
