What do you do when difficult emotions come into the classroom?
The world has become increasingly complex, and the emotional demands on our children have never been greater. When you have the right words to describe what you’re feeling, what you’re experiencing and what impact these are having on you, you have the power to change.
Change starts with the choices we make.
Our programmes give you, the teacher, tools to help your primary and intermediate-aged students recognise and manage situations that stem from anxiety, stress and family violence.
You’ll have a proven framework and practical tools to help your students express and manage their emotions better, build trust among each other, and make wise choices, enhancing overall classroom dynamics.
Changing your classroom, their future and the future of their communities.
Speaking Up Makes An Impact
At Jade Speaks Up Educational Trust, we believe that every child has a right to feel safe and understood. By passing on trauma-informed, interactive methods to strengthen knowledge, resources and strategies to address your students' emotional literacy needs, we empower you to be the change-makers in their lives.

"One of the strongest messages I gained from this workshop was that a child lacking a voice in a violent home will be powerless and become lost.
At the end of 2019, it became evident that the school had to manage and help support children in increasingly complex situations around violence and unsafe children.
By teachers, teacher aides, principals, Oranga Tamariki, NGO’s and myself being able to complete this training of Jade Speaks Up, it meant that the students and teachers can have stronger, trusting relationships and the pupils feel more connected and grounded.
One of the strongest messages I gained from this workshop was that a child lacking a voice in a violent home will be powerless and become lost. They won’t reach their full potential and lack self-belief. Children will still be victims of violence, they will still disclose at school.
Children need to know that someone understands and can find help and support for them. It is imperative that the teacher feels strong and able to help the child’s voice be heard by appropriate people and action taken.”
