Minding Me 1: My Wellbeing fully adheres to the Social, Personal and Health Education syllabus for Junior Cycle. It explores and discusses the four different types of well-being (emotional, social, physical and spiritual) through activities and explanatory text. Using clear, accessible language throughout, it gives the student the opportunity to consider relevant issues in the safe yet dynamic environment of the SPHE classroom.

• Icons are used throughout this series to indicate which type of well-being is being addressed or which subject is linked to the corresponding text or activity. Icons are also used to indicate when numeracy or literacy skills are a key part of an activity.
• Updated and extended edition of 2008’s Minding Me 1. This edition fully complies with the current SPHE syllabus but extensive new material has been added to provide teachers with a useful bridge to the forthcoming Well-Being subject. This textbook could also be a useful resource for teaching SPHE as a short course.
