Post-it Note Heart
Our team created a smiley face made of Post-it notes to spread messages of kindness and encouragement, reminding others that they are not alone in their mental health journeys. This activity aimed to reassure students that feeling stressed or anxious is valid and that support is available. To make the experience more interactive, we invited students to write their own messages and add them to the smiley face.
Mental Health Trivia
To engage students in an interactive and approachable way, our team organized a mental health trivia activity focused on educating peers about our selected risk factor and mental health awareness overall. Participants answered questions by spinning a wheel, with each number corresponding to a different question. To foster an inclusive and supportive environment, all students received candy for participating, regardless of their responses. Those who wished to take part could also enter a raffle for stress-relief kits, reinforcing the importance of healthy coping strategies.
Bake Sale
Together, our team hosted a bake sale to raise money for the American Mental Health Association. In total, we raised a sizable amount of money. We hope that the money we raised will help assist people to achieve a healthy and sound mind.
Yoga Session
We conducted a Yoga Session for Elementary School Students; we demonstrated various yoga poses that calmed their mind! After the instruction, we explained the importance of beginning to take care of their mental health at a young age.
Educational Workshops
At our school, we passed out Mindfulness Journals to students! These notebooks are used to help students in expressing their emotions and relationship with mental health. By writing in their journals, students will be able to regulate their emotions and relieve their stress!
