Greenfield School students raise awareness about mental health care

In the Secondary Division, under the guidance of their homeroom teachers, students have been equipped with essential knowledge about mental well-being, recognizing factors that influence mental health, and learning practical “tips” to manage stress, regulate emotions, and maintain a healthy mindset.

During the session, students explored the definition of mental health as a state of well-being that enables individuals to cope with life’s challenges. However, when three key aspects—personal factors (health, habits, nutrition), social factors (relationships), and environmental factors (education, culture, economy)—are not well-managed, mental well-being can be negatively impacted.

To help students improve their mental health, teachers introduced beneficial habits such as “enhancing sleep quality,” “understanding and managing emotions,” “maintaining a healthy diet,” and “building positive relationships.” Alongside these discussions, students engaged in interactive activities that allowed them to connect with their emotions and express themselves freely, including: “Emotion Box”; “Jar of Emotions”; “When I’m… I…”. 

Greenfield School believes that through this meaningful session, students have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of mental health care. By nurturing positive emotions and developing emotional resilience, they will be better equipped to adapt to challenges, grow with confidence, and achieve their goals.
