The Curriculum for Life programme is designed to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing, and teacher’s pastoral care, fitting in with schools’ PSHE agendas.

The resources are intended to be used by professionals working with young people and consist of two interlinked elements:
- An intimate, emotionally charged, single voice play which provides a powerful stimulus to provoke meaningful and important peer discussion around the issues of emotional and mental health.
- An accompanying facilitators pack, which has a range of follow up activities designed to explore the issues raised within the drama. They also provide professionals with an opportunity to signpost their young people to the pastoral support available within their own setting, as well as specialist mental health support services. The Storm also includes a science based follow up educational resource.
Cost: Free for Rochdale schools. Fee highly subsidised for schools outside of Rochdale.
