Life Skills Workshops for Secondary and JC students
Dear Educators:
As part of Awakening Minds' effort to adopt a preventive approach in advocating for Mental Wellness, I have designed the following workshops for secondary school/JC students. Their objective is to help young people to embrace their unique identities so that they have the courage, self-esteem, spirit and conviction to become the best that they can be. By focusing on teaching the vital, though non-academic, lifeskills, they will be able to grow up to become well-adjusted adults with the character to succeed in any endeavour they choose to pursue.
On the Brink of Adulthood: Stressors and Strategies. Faced with the stressors of adjusting to adulthood, many youths experience their first episode of depression or manic-depression during their university years. By arming the students with the necessary coping skills and strategies, instituting healthy lifestyle habits, as well as shaping their character, the challenges of this transition can be eased. Students will have the opportunity to explore and identify their concerns, as well as map out ideas and strategies to help them to ease their transition.
Cultivating Self-Discipline: I Can Do This! This workshop provides a concrete set of practical suggestions and strategies for helping students to acquire the knowledge and habits of leading a self-disciplined lifestyle. Small-group activities and discussions will further enable the students to take concrete steps towards developing the qualities of self-discipline.
Girl Power: I Love Being a Girl! Targeted at female students aged 14 and above, this workshop will explore the following topics in a series of dynamic and interactive writing exercises and creative activities: societal notions of womanhood and constraints; body image; girl pride; female role models; and their perceptions, desires and life projects.
Small-group activities and discussions will enable the students to reflect and evaluate on their self-image. They will then leave the workshop with increased understanding and ideas about how to improve their self-image and embrace their identities.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Choo Kah Ying
