October has been established as the Mental Health month for Pinewood, since October 10 is considered the World Mental Health day where professionals have an overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health.
Secondary students have been participating in several activities, by watching videos to become more aware of mental health difficulties, by practicing meditation and understanding specific characteristics of mental health problems. Additionally, students learned how to reflect on their thoughts and emotions, and how important it is to become aware of the way we are thinking.
Keeping track of our thoughts is definitely a challenging task!
All students participated in the Pinewood campaign:
‘Protect Yourself, Reveal Yourself’
