Moving up to secondary school is an exciting time but also challenging, as there are a lot of changes happening.
The Resilience Rucksack project has developed wellbeing tools which have been co-created by young people, researchers, and professional artists to support young people through these changes.
Our research found that the best way to help young people would be to strengthen their resilience and wellbeing. One of the themes that is important for our resilience and wellbeing, is Sleep!
‘Somni – the RR Sleep & Daylight song’ is about the ‘sleep steps’ that we can do in the day, which counterintuitively, help us to sleep at night!
We want to express our grateful thanks to both the young people representatives in our co-production workshops and our steering consultation group for their invaluable input and guidance in the creation of this song.
