COMMUNITY GROUPS & SCHOOLS

• Encourage people and students to develop good mental health habits at the same time as practising good self-care, bearing in mind that the two are often linked
• Develop initiatives that eradicate the stigma attached to mental health
• Hold special classes that allow students to build confidence and rapport that enables them to open up to teachers, mentors and one another and about mental health issues, particularly teaching students that there is no stigma attached to dealing with mental illness or issues
• Create an environment where it is encouraged to talk about mental health. Teach community members to be mental health mentors
• Become a partner with MYND Initiative and help spread our message that mental health matters to everyone
• Create discussion groups within the school amongst students and teachers
• Ensuring the development of policies and procedures that help students feel comfortable with seeking help when dealing with mental illness
