Good afternoon ,

 

I have included some information regarding mental health for students over the school holidays. 

 

Actions to support positive mental health over the school holidays 

  • Exercise boosts mood and mental health – make it fun!
  • Nourish your brain by eating healthily – it will also improve your mood
  • Prioritise sleep to support mental and emotional wellbeing
  • Explore relaxation techniques and coping strategies
  • Stay in touch and catch up with friends and loved ones
  • Make time to do things you enjoy
  • Practice positive self-talk – and remember you are not alone
  • Seek professional help if needed
