Our story begins with a heart for connection.
Welcome to Bearing Up, a heartfelt project designed to nurture growth, resilience, and kindness within our communities. Created by a teacher for teachers and parents, our approach is deeply rooted in attachment theory and brought to life through engaging project-based learning. We believe everyone deserves to feel loved and to belong to a supportive family – and that's exactly what Bearing Up offers.
Our inspiration: Fostering connection post-covid.
The origin of Bearing Up sprung from the profound disconnect witnessed in communities post-Covid. As an educator, I was driven to create a mental health project that addresses these vital needs. Both the project and the subsequent book were born from a heartfelt response to support local and wider communities in Dundee, Scotland, helping to rebuild well-being and foster genuine connection.
A supportive family for every journey.
Bearing Up is dedicated to nurturing the well-being of children, parents, teachers, other educators, NHS professionals, and the wider community. Our aim is for everyone to feel a part of our supportive family. Join us as we grow together, fostering kindness and belonging in every heart.
You are loved, and you belong here.
This is the core message of Bearing Up. We are an educator and author-led project. We invite you to explore our resources and become part of our story. For inquiries, please contact us at:
