my volunteering experience by Sadie Gaylor https://padlet.com/2302202/Bookmarks Made by Sadie Gaylor en-us 2022-05-05 09:47:07 UTC 2022-06-09 13:24:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Hour log 2302202 https://padlet.com/2302202/Bookmarks/wish/2171173289 8th February- I was introduced to the first years and got to know them all by walking around the class room during a group activity which included writing down all the different types of mental health they could think of and asking questions such as their name and hobbies .

15th- February- In the second lesson I'd taken over the class and planned a mental health and wellbeing activity which was a Daily Mood Tracker developed for people dealing with anger management issues but can be helpful for anyone who wants to track their mood understanding what triggers the students to get angry and loose their patience
It splits the day up into several two-hour blocks and asks the user to track their emotions, as well as allowing for notes to explain these moods.

22nd February- All the class watched a mental health clip explaining all areas of mental health which allowed the student to gain a bigger understanding such as triggers, signs/symptoms/ real life stories suchas speeches etc.

And by learning and picking out all of the themes explored in mental health such as bravery, friendships, growth and mindset, PTSD, anxiety, depression etc. I've also gotten a psychological perspective on different children/students and how they operate by seeing how they react by a multiple of different scenarios relating to issues on mental health.]]> 2022-05-05 09:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2302202/Bookmarks/wish/2171173838
