Mind Your Head

Mind Your Head

 

Mind Your Head is a mental health and wellbeing programme aimed a young people. The Mind Your Head programme is embedded within our  Transition Year programme allowing students to take part in various workshops to help students explore and identify different aspects of our wellbeing.

The ‘Mind Your Head’ programme originated from a need recognised by the Youth services in Gurranabraher,  where issues around mental health and self-harm had been brought up by young people attending the youth centre. This programme was written and compiled by a youth worker and a community health worker.

This is an opportunity for exploring mental health issues with young people. It is designed specifically for youth workers, youth leaders, peer educators, and others working with young people.

The programme is very much about giving the young people space and time to explore and talk about their concerns and opinions on mental health. It also highlights tools and supports to help them cope and deal with issues that can have a negative effect on their mental health.
