Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues

Primary 6 enjoyed their first session with TAMHI this morning. Dixie and Laoise led the session which gave the girls the chance to explore ways to improve their mental health through fun games and activities. The first activity showed the girls what it is like when they feel anxious and the difference it can make when they feel confident. While some of the girls played Choice Ball - where they asked themselves the questions “Will I get in trouble?” and “will it hurt someone?” Before making decisions, the other groups discussed whether certain actions were good or bad. The girls worked really well together, showing the importance of listening and teamwork.
