self-care & healthy habits


Positive coping skills are healthy ways we handle tough emotions. For instance, taking deep breaths, relaxing, listening to music, talking to someone you trust about how you feel, grounding yourself, and saying positive things to yourself.

Self-care and healthy habits are things you do to help you feel better and stay healthy, both physically and emotionally.

help-seeking


Seeking help means asking for support from a trusted community member (e.g., a friend, classmate, other trusted person) OR a mental health professional (e.g., a counselor, psychologist, or social worker).

Mental health resources include crisis hotlines, mental health apps, community healers, therapy, and psychiatry.

prosocial


Helpful behaviors are actions you choose to do to help someone else. Examples could be comforting a friend, volunteering, or doing something nice for someone unexpectedly.

Teens can support each other's mental health by listening, encouraging help, checking in, promoting positive activities, and creating a caring and understanding environment.

culture


Stigma here refers to negative attitudes, beliefs, or stereotypes that are associated with mental health, and can lead to shame for those who talk about their experiences.

What three words would you use to describe your school culture around mental health? Culture is the set of values, beliefs, traditions, and unspoken rules that shape how a group works together and how people in the community treat each other.
