Activity 3: Putting Our Heads Together [6 points]
Health is a complex and complicated topic. Most people believe that there are many dimensions (areas) of health - physical health, social health, mental health, emotional health, etc. Mental health is an area that is not often discussed. It is basically the way we think and feel about ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes our mental health can be affected by things that have happened in our lives, or by changes in our brains that we cannot control.
Here in New Zealand, people like Mike King and John Kirwan have made the choice to speak publicly about the mental health challenges that they face. Overseas, people like The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have joined the discussion about mental health and, like John and Mike, started a foundation to support people struggling with mental health challenges.
John Kirwan started the John Kirwan Foundation in 2018. Mike King founded The Key to Life Foundation, the I Am Hope and the Gumboot Friday campaigns while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge started the Heads Together foundation in 2017. In each case, these foundations serve an important role in the community.
The poster has a picture of a person struggling everyone goes through some sort of mental health and we all need to help each other is basically what it means
Hello Courtney,
ReplyDeleteI am Vitaraag and I am participating in the Summer Learning Journey this year. I really enjoyed this blog post! Let me elaborate on why I like it. Firstly, you made a very unique poster. Secondly, you put some information on the google drawing and then explained it in more detail. I don't really have ant problems with mental health. I really liked the Summer Learning Journey activities where you had to create something. Do you enjoy those kind of activities? Maybe next time you could add a bit more information about your poster. Overall, this i a phenomenal blog post! Keep up the astonishing work!

Tālofa Lava Courtney,
ReplyDeleteKa pai on completing your third bonus activity for week 3! You’re flying through the Summer Learning Journey and I am enjoying reading all your blog posts.
What an awesome poster you have put together today to help bring awareness for mental health. I really like what this poster represents, some of the words you have used as well.
How did you come up with the idea to do this for your poster, have you seen something like this before or did you know much about this before you did this activity.
Tofa Soifua,
Kueni.
