Managing in Difficult Times

👧 Step Up Sisters 👧


Tonight we had a session that focussed on how to maintain good mental health in difficult times; the news of the invasion of Ukraine has hit some of our young people hard.


We discussed:


✅ Recognising fake news

✅ Age appropriate news providers such as Newsround

✅ Managing our exposure to news or even taking a break all together

✅ Letting our parents and carers know if we are worried

✅ Mindful methods to relax

✅ Breathing techniques

✅ Grounding activities to remain present

✅ Identifying unhelpful strategies for coping

✅ Daily habits to good health


🎶 We also knocked out some tunes and played some games to finish our session with positivity, fun and laughter. 🎲
