“I just feel angry all the time... but this makes me feel calm”

Hi there,

We have an exciting opportunity for your child’s school - but we need your help.

A few weeks ago, we ran workshops with children in Sunderland, including those with anxiety, special educational needs, and school avoiders. We didn’t bring screens or complex interventions - just a few simple tools to help them regulate:

🧘‍♂️ Colouring mandalas to calm busy minds
🔎 “Find Orli” scavenger hunts to focus attention
🎨 DIY stress balls, made and decorated by the children themselves, giving them something to hold onto when things felt too much

One child told us:
"I just feel angry all the time… but this makes me feel calm."

That’s why we’re so passionate about bringing these workshops to more schools this summer - and why we’re asking for your help.

Could you share this with your child’s school?

We’ve attached a 1-pager you can forward to your school’s SENCO, pastoral lead, or headteacher, introducing Orli’s creative regulation workshops and how they can help children calm, compete, and create their way to better wellbeing.

With your support, we can help more children find their calm - not by telling them to, but by showing them how to create it for themselves.

Thank you so much,

Dr Mark
& The Orli Team
