We’re on a mission to mainstream Mental Fitness by bringing Emotional Education to students around the world.
Exercise keeps us physically fit, but what about our Mental Fitness?
- Our confidence and focus?
- Our motivation and positivity?
- Our connection with others?
- Our sense of meaning?
- Our flexibility and adaptability to change?
- Our ability to harness stress positively?
- Our self-management?
Fika’s own research has shown that these skills are key components affecting student retention, attainment, employability and social inclusion on campus.
These skills need exercise too.
- Fika is inspired by a Scandinavian tradition for taking time out to focus on our emotions. Aligned with the 2019 NICE evidence standards for digital health technologies and built from a robust evidence-base by an expert team.
- Drawing on methods and theories spanning sports psychology and positive psychology as well as acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to build Mental Fitness.
- Feel resilient and able to bounce back
- Be confident to step-up and take control
- Communicate clearly and listen actively
- Think creatively and solve problems
- Take criticism and use it constructively
- Adapt to changing circumstances
- Create healthy, lasting relationships
- Be focused and driven to succeed
- Stay strong and clear-headed in a crisis
- The Fika platform is supported by our own primary research programme and designed to increase attainment, reduce attrition, improve the student experience and prevent mental health decline.
- Developing valuable self-management skills such as confidence, adaptability and acceptance while improving focus, social connection and empathy.
