Mental Health Awareness In this workshop we will explore mental health and the notion that we can all look after it! Younger students will be introduced to anxiety and depression and those who are older will receive an in-depth look at these plus eating disorders and OCD. Other mental illnesses may also be lightly introduced but the focus will be on the four previously mentioned. We will also discuss individual coping mechanisms, wellbeing and how to support those around you.

These workshops are designed to prepare students for what to expect in next stage of their education. They include topics like the change in work load/type, dealing with higher levels of independence, how to make new friends and the importance of keeping a routine.

This workshop discusses with students the unrealistic expectations portrayed in the media of the ‘perfect body image and the negative consequences of this on people’s mental health. Students will learn about specific mental illnesses that can arise from believing they have to look a certain way to have worth, ways to build their confidence and self-esteem and how to feel comfortable with their appearance.

This workshop teaches students the fundamental aspects of a healthy relationship both in a romantic and friendly setting. It highlights key differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships such as mutual respect and trust and how to spot when something is not quite right. We also look into the many different types of bullying and what to do if you experience or witness it.
