Chika Okorafor Aneke is passionate about everything that affects children. Watching children play, work and excel are the things that occupy her time.
, she opens up on how it all started in the UK, working in the sector for over 24 years as a child protection officer and passion for children’s mental health.Well my parents would tell you that as a little girl I always played, ‘schools.’ Family members were the students and I was the principal!
It also enabled me to stay in the profession when so many through no fault of their own find the demands inhuman.I used to leave school emotionally, physically and mentally drained. My personal life suffered, but teaching is my passion so it came first.One day I remember being stopped by my ‘head teacher’ boss and she removed all my books I was carrying to the car one Friday, which I intended to review over the weekend.
Children’s mental health is such an important area, especially here in Nigeria with such a young population. In the UK, children as young as 10 years old are being diagnosed with mental health issue, clinical depression. 1 in 7 adults with mental health issues wished they had gotten intervention at a younger age.I am trained to teach mindfulness to Children in school in the UK and worldwide. I’m also trained to teach children, teens and adults as a Mindfulness Life Coach.
In addition, I am also trained in many therapeutic therapies such as cognitive Behavioural therapy , Neurolinguistic Programming , brain and learning acceleration and memory techniques, mindmapping, structured learning and many other practices to help the education of all, as we are all unique.There have been so many memorable moments that have shaped my life and career. I will mention a few:
Attending my NPQH – Institute of Education London graduation and giving birth to my daughter, in same year! This was also a very memorable time for me. I have a picture of me holding her at my graduation. Priceless!
