“Thank you so much for your club, as fun as it was, it still helped me with my anger issues. The club gave me thoughts that made me feel better.”

"I would highly recommend this game to any one working therapeutically with children and young people either to use as a whole intervention plan or as an easy to turn to ad hoc tool. It's a safe way to discuss important aspects of health and wellbeing.”
Meet the Beasties
These friendly but strange looking creatures are our Beasties. Their personalities represent different emotions that we can relate to and will probably come across at some point in our lives. The Beasties make it easier for us to talk about these feelings so that they make more sense.
Our Beasties are here for you to learn to talk about life, your feelings, and give you great advice if you are struggling. Through games, activities, and imagination, they provide a fun and joyful way to learn and talk about our emotions. The Beasties encourage meaningful conversations and important talking points that otherwise can be tricky to talk about, and their happy approach increases the chances of your children opening up.
So put your Happy Heads on, and come join us for the Beastiest adventure of all time!
