Mental Health & Well-being Session: Focus on Self-Connection

On 22 June 2024, Youth+ held a Mental Health & Well-being session: a break from busy everyday life to focus on self-care, mental health and connection with others.

The programme

• Mindfulness: guided exercises to come back to the present moment and handle daily stress more consciously.
• Yoga: releasing physical tension and clearing the mind.
• Team-building games: collaboration and communication that broke the ice and built trust in the group.
• Stress management: a discussion led by psychologists, with practical strategies from breathing exercises to time management.

The session was led by experienced trainers. Participants left feeling refreshed, with tools they could use straight away, and many said how much they appreciated the time to slow down, reflect and connect. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and this session was another step in our work on well-being for young people.
