“The greatest gift we can give children and young people is the ability to manage their own emotions and mental health.”

We would like to introduce you to the Decider 12 Life Skills
We know based on recent international prevalence data, it is estimated that 1 in 6 children, aged five to sixteen years old and 1 in 5 seventeen to twenty-two year olds, in Jersey, are likely to have a mental health disorder.
We know by introducing skills to children to assist them in regulating their thoughts and feelings at the earliest opportunity, leads to healthier children and positive outcomes.
“The rationale for early intervention is strong, it is easier to build strong children than it is to fix broken adults.” Frederick Douglass
Decider skills empower children and young people by helping them recognise their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, allowing them to monitor and manage their own emotional and mental health.
This will impact not just our children, but our society as a whole.
