Mental Health Questions
Later in the session we talked with the young people about Mental Health and asked them 3 questions:
Question 1: How do you know when your mental health is good?
Their collective answers were:
Your Happier – More Social – Eat better – Sleep better – Less angry – More Patient – More energy and get out of bed earlier.
Question 2: Who would you go to if your mental health was suffering?
Their collective answers were:
Friends – Mentors at Future Roots – Family.
Question 3: What could you do to improve it?
Their collective answers were:
Dancing – Listen to music – Animal / Art / Music Therapy – Spend time with people who lift your mood – Know your cycle so you know you will come out of it (if it runs in a cycle) – Sport – Learn a new skill – Keep your mind busy – Go outside / Walking.
We Hope That Some of These Might Help You.
