Our approach
ZingPinMe is an evidence-based social-emotional learning program that teaches children fun and useful ways to deal with unhelpful emotions and build resilience. The program uses a cast of lovable puppet characters—Dilly, Ralphie, Cino, Basil and their pet bird Rosie—each representing different emotions and coping strategies, so children can learn through relatable storytelling. Sessions focus on multiple pathways including managing anger, emotional regulation, self-awareness, social decision-making, and friendships, with activities and videos updated weekly. Children learn how to notice and measure their emotions as a starting point for emotional regulation, and discover healthy coping strategies alongside the puppet characters who model bouncing back from difficult situations. The program emphasises that practice and working together are key to achieving mental health goals.
