Tools for Teens: HAPPINESS & HEALTHY MINDSET ; "Journey into Myself " One DAY OPTION
Tools for Teens - HAPPINESS AND HEALTHY MINDSET aims to give all Year 12 to Year 13 students a toolbox of practical, and easy-to-implement mindset techniques via an introductory talk, followed up by engaging, fun and thought-provoking interactive workshops.
INSPIRATIONAL TALK : ’Happiness, and tools for a healthy mindset in times of stress´
This is an inspirational talk to invite students to rethink concepts such as happiness, success, failure, pain and opportunity; and to give them tangible tools to support themselves through emotional rollercoasters, as well as minimizing the potential stress in the lead-up to NCEA internals and exams.
- What is happiness?
- The power of being present - the distraction of social media
- Reset and reframe: positive self-talk and constructive visualization
- Choosing happiness - choosing our narrative
- Challenging the victim mindset.
- Tangible tools to use to improve their mental health in times of low mood or stress.
The talk is to be held in the hall for all senior students in the morning at Assembly. After the talk, students break off into smaller groups for the workshop:
WORKSHOPS: A Jouney into Myself
These 90-min workshops are meant to deepen the understanding of themes touched upon in the talk. These will be given in a safe, structured but informal manner, in a spacious room (drama room/library/hall), and will include fun interactive, physical team-building and trust exercises, as well as a goal-setting session with help of a handout.
The workshops are in 3 parts, each building on the one before, and run without a break: the first 30 minutes are centered around movement, trust, team-building, fight or flight ("reptilian" fight-flight-freeze brain); the second are focussed on discovering the link between our physiology and our emotions (limbic/emotional "mammal" brain) and the third is about goal-setting and discovering stengths, values and beliefs (neo-cortex, rational "human" brain)
Students will be given colourful , inspiring handouts to work from, and will leave the session with a toolbox of practical and easy-to-implement mindset techniques.
This program is aimed at the full year 12&13 classes, regardless of their abilities, gender, and their cultural or socio-economic backgrounds. Stress, anxiety, and overload can affect anyone, and for the concepts to be widely accepted and trust to be formed among students, it is important that no particular cohort of students is singled out.
