Whether it’s through mindfulness, time management, or physical activity, we’ll find what works best for us to maintain our mental and physical well-being.

Topic 6: Help-Seeking

Knowing when and how to seek help is crucial for our health and safety. This topic will cover the importance of recognisin when we need support and the different resources available to us. We’ll learn that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and how to support others in seeking help as well.
