Give every child the skills to thrive
At youHQ, we believe in the transformative power of Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) – an evidence-based approach that equips young individuals with the skills they need to not just survive, but to thrive.
​
Our values-based goalsetting helps individuals better understand and reinforce the personal qualities that they aspire to and wish to cultivate.
The Heart of ACT: Values-Based Goalsetting
At the core of ACT lies a unique emphasis on values-based goalsetting. Unlike traditional goal-setting approaches, which often focus solely on external achievements, ACT delves deeper into the individual's core values. We understand that success is not just about reaching a destination; it's about aligning your journey with your core values.
Immerse Values-Based Goalsetting in Your Character Education and Personal Development Curriculum
As schools increasingly prioritise character education and Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) or Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculums, youHQ is your partner in substantiating student progress in these vital areas.
Integrating values-based goalsetting into your curriculum, youHQ provides a dynamic platform where students actively engage in shaping their character and personal development. Our innovative approach allows students to accumulate points (GOALd) by discovering their unique values and achieving their goals.
Witness the impact, as exemplified by Leighton Park's success in winning the 2022 ISA Award for Excellence in Pupil Personal Development.
youHQ isn't just a support system for your curriculum; it becomes an integral part of fostering character growth, enriching PSHE, and enhancing SEL initiatives. Empower your students to thrive academically and personally through a curriculum that actively promotes values-driven goal setting.
Values FAQ
How does the platform work?
Start with what's important
After introducing students and teachers to the concept of values we begin to break down how they might start to choose theirs.
​
There’s lots of words that can help describe who and what individuals want to be. The closer people live their life to these words the easier it is to help people feel good about themselves. We call these words ‘values’.
Set goals against those personal values
Values act as a compass to help individuals live like the person they want to be. From within youHQ, pupils and tutors can set goals aligned to their values to help them stay on track.
Achieving your goals
One of the easiest ways of making goals achievable is breaking them down into smaller bite-size short-term objectives that we call actions.
