MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK 2024

By Sidsel Loyche - 14 May, 2024
Education
6 Minutes Read

OUR MENTAL HEALTH IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC, NO MATTER OUR AGE. IT DOESN’T
ALWAYS SHOW ON THE OUTSIDE, SO WE ALL NEED TO PRACTICE HOW TO TALK ABOUT IT, AND
HOW TO BE A GOOD LISTENER IF SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO SHARE THEIR FEELINGS WITH US.

This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week has the topic ‘Movement: moving more
for our mental health’.

And whilst we are sure that your classroom will be full of fun activities and
lots of healthy movement this week, we wanted to also provide you with some
talking points to help your students better understand mental health.

For the youngest, some of these suggestions might be hard to understand, so we
have clarified within the text below what you as a teacher or parent can do to
help even the younger children understand this important topic.

What does mental health mean?

It’s our feelings, thoughts, and our mood. If you slept badly one night, you
might feel very tired and that can make you angry and you might feel as if the
whole day is bad. If someone asks you why you are having a bad day, you can say
‘because I didn’t get much sleep’. But what if you wake up feeling angry or sad
for no reason? We don’t always know why we feel the way we do, and that can be
frustrating!

What do we do about our negative feelings?

Sometimes it helps to write them down. Sometimes it helps to play a game, take a
nice bath, or go for a walk. If the feelings get big, and last for a long time,
the best thing to do is to talk to someone else about them.

Lesson one – how to talk about feelings

Divide your class into pairs or small groups and let the students take turns in
presenting a feeling. Help them get the conversation going by providing them
with suggestions such as:

I’m worried that my homework is not correct.

I’m worried that my best friend doesn’t like me anymore.

I’m worried about social media.

Have the other students ask why and see if they can suggest a solution.

Then discuss with the whole class what makes a good listener.

Younger children can benefit from simply listing suggestions of things that can
make them feel worried or sad, to better understand that friends and classmates
might feel different.

Who makes a good listener?

Talking about big feelings can be scary. We might think that we are the only
person in the whole world with our specific thoughts and emotions, so it can
feel scary or embarrassing talking to someone else about it. But it shouldn’t
be! You are never alone in your feelings, and even if the listener does not
share your feelings, they should still listen and suggest an adult to speak to.

Have the class raise their hands and tell you who makes a good listener. Talk
about why and help list more if needed:

Friends

Family members

Teacher

Again, for the youngest, the why might be hard to grasp, but identifying that
friends, family or a trusted adult makes a good listener is important.

How to be a good listener

When we talked about our feelings in lesson one, did you feel like your friends
were listening? It’s important that we all practice how to listen, and how to
ask people in our lives how they are.

Someone who is good at listening will focus on you when you are talking, and not
be distracted by other people and noise. A good listener will also respect your
emotions even if they don’t feel the same way and will show that respect by not
interrupting. The person you are talking to might not know what to say to make
you feel better, but together you can identify someone else to talk to who might
be able to help.

Lesson two – And what if they don’t listen?

Sometimes people are busy with their own problems in life, and they fail to
understand that you need to talk. It’s important not to ignore your own big
feelings, and still ask for their time!

How can we ask for help when someone seems busy or distracted?

Do you have time to talk for a bit?

I don’t feel good today – Can I talk to you about it?

I’m feeling nervous right now – Can you help?

Ask if the class have more suggestions.

How can we practice being better at listening?

We can all try to observe our friends and family around us and ask them every
day how they are doing. Some ways we can support others are by saying ‘How was
your day?’, You seem a bit sad today; do you want to talk?’ or ‘I’m here if you
want a chat.’

Ask the class for more suggestions on how to start a conversation about their
big feelings.

For the youngest this can be tough, and we expect the adults in their lives to
ask these important questions. Talking about it can still help, as it’s
important to also understand what it looks like when someone is caring and
trying to help.

In conclusion, our mental health is a vital aspect of our overall well-being,
regardless of age.

While it may not always be evident from the outside, it is essential to
cultivate a culture of open communication and active listening when it comes to
discussing mental health.

Through structured lessons, we can empower students to articulate their feelings
and seek support when needed. Understanding what mental health encompasses and
normalising discussions around it are pivotal steps in fostering a supportive
environment. Additionally, teaching the skills of active listening and
empathetic response not only strengthens relationships but also encourages
individuals to reach out for help when faced with challenges.

It’s essential to recognise that everyone, regardless of age, can play a role in
supporting mental health. By promoting a culture of openness, empathy, and
understanding, we can create communities where individuals feel safe and
supported in addressing their mental well-being. Together, we can break down the
stigma surrounding mental health and ensure that no one feels alone in their
struggles.
