P4/5 and P6/7 completed 'Healthy Me' workshops this week provided by Geraldine from the Our Generation Team for Action Mental Health. This workshop is designed to help children develop skills and confidence to improve overall well-being, using a range of ideas that children can use in everyday situations.
Children focussed on using a range of different strategies to help cope with challenging feelings and emotions that they may face. Children learned all about emotions, behaviour and actions and practiced different ways to keep our minds healthy. Ideas included breathing techniques, positive self-talk, mindfulness, a trusted adult, peer support and exercise.
Feedback from the children was extremely positive and all agreed that they have lots of ideas that they can add to their "tool box" to help keep their minds happy and healthy!
Many thanks to our Project Worker Geraldine for this highly engaging and very worthwhile experience!
