My Biggest takeaway from today's lesson is the correct approaches to helping my peers and the things to avoid when helping. E.g. I learned that it is important to voice out the dangerous thoughts that my peers may have, which I found out when interacting with them.

my biggest takeaway from today is that everyone may be struggling with something that they may not show on the surface, be it mental illnesses, home issues or even like a death in the family. We need to be able to identify some tell-tale signs of when someone is not them. And most importantly be able to communicate, empathise and know when confidentiality should be breached. We all may need help, and sometimes we also can give help. Its a constant cycle of giving and receiving and having the courage to ask for help :)

My biggest takeaway is that mental health is being anxiety and depression. There is more to mental health problem. As a student I am not able to fix the problem but I can make the person feel they are not alone. And itself is actually a big help. We also need help ourself and should take time to for myself.

To take care of ourselves first before others, even if we really desire to help them but we can’t handled ourselves more better. Because we are peer supporters and we are stressed or burnout, how are we supposed to help those students who are burning out. It’s just insensible and unhelpful. So to know that we must practise self care first so that they will look up to us as pillars of support and also to be aware of the different types of disorders and not just classified them under all depression. And to be wary of our words and decisions.

That anyone and everyone can be affected by metal health issues, whether it is obvious or not, we need to look our for each other.
