Today, we joined a Teams meeting with Here4Peers, an organization that gives 7th graders presentations about mental health awareness. I learned about postpartum depression, which is when a new mother gets a type of depression caused by giving birth and the side effects. I also learned that most social media platforms can degrade mental health, but YouTube can actually make it better. Mental health and mental health are surrounded by a lot of stigma, but the reality is that it affects almost everyone. It's really good that Here4Peers is spreading awareness about mental health, and hopefully they continue to do it.

Mental health, something just as important as our physical health but commonly unnoticed and neglected. Today in class, we attended a mental health symposium that taught us a lot about mental health and mental illnesses. I learned that mental health and mental illnesses are completely different things, with mental health being something everyone has with everyone being in different conditions and mental illnesses being something doctors diagnose. What stood out to me the most during today’s presentation was how so many people were affected by mental illnesses. They stated that 1 out of 3 children suffer from mental illnesses and that they were unable to get the help they need because they didn’t want to be stigmatized, causing their mental health to continuously deteriorate. Through today’s presentation, I realized how important mental health is and that we need to recognize it as something serious.

@Roy - Why did you not think that mental health was not important and serious before?

*Why did you not think that mental health was important and serious before?

Roy

I didn’t think that it wasn’t serious but I never thought about how important it was until now. Nobody ever talks about this topic and I sometimes see people use mental illnesses in a very wrong way.

Maintaining who you are and staying to true yourself is only a part of taking care of yourself. Not only must you pay attention to your physical state, but your mentality as well. After all, depending on the wellbeing of your mental state, it can play different mind tricks on your brain and may prevent certain paths in your future. Moreover, today, our class attended a mental health symposium which taught us many things, including the difference of your mental health and mental illness. For example, despite what many expects of the word, mental illnesses is not a word that defines those who are 'crazy' or those who have sicknesses like cancer or such. Rather, the word sympathizes what it means to have sicknesses like depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, etc. It is something that 1 out of 3 Canadians experience in their lifetime. Another thing we learnt was that it is important to have people who support you and for everyone to know that they are equals with everyone else. As insecurities are one of the biggest things that people fall victim to which scar them and haunt them. Therefore making them scared, and soon having the possibilities of getting symptoms of mental illnesses. Although, to have a group of people around you who you know you can trust is beneficial because you would know that there are people who worry, people who want to help not through pity, but through empathy. In summarization, everything that we learned today helped me realize that there are more than one ways to cure yourself before it's too late. May it be your own caring skills or your friends, either way, it is important to keep a healthy mindset in which you are positive and to never give up.

Mental illness and mental health are complete different things, mental health is how you feel (I think) And mental illnesses are when someone is special with a disability. I think a stigma is a mental health problem I dont remember much from todays presentation.

Today we had a presentation about mental health. One thing that I have learned is that 1/3 of children are affected by mental illnesses and cant get the help they need without the fear of being called out. Another thing that I learned is that social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook are not good for your mental health. But, You Tube is actually the only social media platform that helps your mental health. I also found out that calling someone with mental issues crazy is called stigma. In conclusion, I learned a lot of new things in the presentation today and the information that I learned might help me in the future.

Mental health and mental illnesses are completely different things. Everyone has mental health however not everyone has a mental illness. When it comes to mental illnesses, there can be disorders that are caused due to stress, anxiety, past experiences, and more. Mental illnesses are never good for you as they can change up your mood, routine, and personality. 1 out of 3 people have mental illnesses in their lifetime which is a large percentage, however keeping a calm life and relaxing can help you recover. Stigma is when one classifies a person with a mental illness as crazy or such, this can be because of ignorance or fear, but it is never okay to talk without thought about anyone. Too much stress can cause mental illnesses and people who are around may develop them as well if they care for you. This is because they may worry for you and that might go into their heads. Before this presentation, I was already well aware of mental health as I've seen people with illnesses before. However, this presentation made my understanding deeper. Mental health awareness is important to keep yourself healthy and safe.

Mental health is something that one may easily forget to care for because it slips into one's mind self-consciously, but it is actually as important as any other aspect of one's life. Today, sixty-eight different schools from all over the Vancouver district participated in a meeting with a few mental health professionals from Here4Peers and discussed with us about mental illnesses, stigma, and where to seek mental help if needed.

Through participating in this event, I now realize how important mental health is, and that it should not be taken for granted. I have never truly considered mental health as an important aspect of life, and the idea of mental health was always forgotten through all the piles of other thoughts I have. Furthermore, I was very shocked to hear that 1 in 3 people in the world suffer from a mental illness. Finally, I feel very cared for and supported because there are a variety of assistances specialized for mental health, from meditation apps to platforms that help kids through daily life problems.

Overall, I think that this event was very interesting and beneficial, and I feel supported because there are so many others who voluntarily support others' mental health.

Today we had a work shop about the importance of our mental health.
Mental heal is “ Your emotional and psychological well-being. Having good mental health helps you lead a relatively happy and healthy life. It helps you demonstrate resilience and the ability to cope in the face of life's adversities.”. Although mental health and mental illness are often mixed up, the are completely different things. You can use things such as reading sleeping or keeping your self busy as an outlet, but you have to remember and ask yourself if this is a real or fake outlet. Mental health is an important part of every humans life, and you should never undermined it.

Mental health is important in almost every aspect of our lives, it affects how we think, feel, and act. Although mental health is just as important as physical health, people tend to overlook and neglect this invisible issue. Today, our class participated in a mental health symposium to teach children about mental health and mental illnesses, as well as to spread awareness. Furthermore, I learned about postpartum depression, which is a mental disorder mother’s can get after child birth. During this period, mother’s can feel overwhelmed, stressed, confused, a loss of identity, and many other side effects. I also learned about stigma, which is when someone sees you in a negative way because of your mental illness. Which can worsen mental health problems even more and stop a person from getting the help that they need because they fear the judgement of others. To conclude, I’m really glad that this program is talking about mental health and mental illness and the problems surrounding it because it’s extremely important and affects us all.

Being able to stand against our messed up society where people only like others because of appearances is amazing. However, many people who have to face society and other problems may develop a mental health disorder. Whether you're depressed, constantly anxious, or self-consious, they all affect our mental health. It's also not just because of judgemental comments that we develop these health issues. Woman who have just given birth to a baby can get a mental health dissorder. Struggling to succeed on a test can cause you to feel anxious and stressed. Basically anything can affect your mentality. How can we fix that? There are many ways to fighting these problems. One way is finding a therapist or simply just talking to someone. When we saw the presentation given by Here4Peers, they talked about different things that can cause you to feel different emotions and could damange your mental health. As for me, one way I can self regulate my emotions is by listening to music. I like listening to music. It helps me regulate all types of moods, whether I am mad, sad, or happy, music always makes me calm. If you have a more severe mental health dissorder, seeking for help is really important. For example, Here4Peers explained that if you don't want to seek a therapist for whatever reason, talking to someone around your age group can help you even better. Here4Peers also explained that stigma is when you criticize people with mental issues. Like calling them crazy, or lazy, or any hateful comment. I think Here4Peers helped me expand my knowledge of mental health. It made me look deeper into the topic and I learned that society and other people aren't the only people who can cause mental issues and even if it plays a big part in mental health, there are many other reasons.

Mental health combined to our physical health is who we are combined. We're not just mental health we are both mental health and physical health since thats what makes us, Us. Caring for our mental health is extrmely imporant since we need to know how to deal with anxiety, or depression or Post traumatic stress discorder. These mental health issues, over time become a big part of our lives and we need to make sure to take care of it. Before doing anything We need to make sure of the saftly of the popel around us and guarantee that they are in a safe enviorment where they could come out. Or that they can get the help they need, the counseling they need. When we are in these times, a few ways to treat our mental health is to play some music, talk to a adult or a reliable friend, and evern watching youtube. Be careful the content you watch on youtube when you are caring for your mental health since your mental health might get worse if you have negative thoughts like beliving that someone is so much better than you and then getting insercue. Today I knew that watching videos help me however I didnt know it was a fact that it helped a lot of people. I learned that in today's presentation. Another thing that I learned is that 1 in 3 people suffer from mental health. 2 things I learned from that statement is that I used to believe that mental health affected a lot of people but I didnt know that this affected so much people. Another thing I learned today from that statement is how the stereotype of suffering from mental health can affect the people in our society. We can easily affect someone's life in a negative way if we act towards the stereotypes and all the time ask them and belive them to be like these sterotypes. Again, not only does our physiucal health affect us and our lives by a majoirity, our ment health is combined in this. We need to make sure and guarantee that we have a safe and respectful space for everyone who might be affected by mental health.

Having to keep yourself clean everyday or having a healthy diet doesn't mean that your keeping your body healthy, however, paying attention to your mental state and staying true is what matters. This afternoon, our class attended a program online where mental health professionals explains how mental health and mental illnesses can cause unexpected behaviors in our lives Furthermore, we also learned how mental illness and mental health are completely different! Having to say that, metal illness being is something doctors diagnose and mental health is a condition that everyone experienced like stress. However, I was surprised when they mentioned that 1 out of 3 children in Canada have been diagnosed with mental illness. Overall, I am so glad that I was able to attend this program as it was very beneficial and supportive to children all around the world.

Today in our workshop, we learned about mental health and mental illness. Everyone has a mental health, but may not have a mental illness. Mental health someone's mental wellness, and mental illness is when someone is diagnosed with a mental disorder. During the presentation, they told us that 1/3 people suffers mental illness. Many things can affect your mental health, but there are ways that can distract you from it, and make you feel relaxed. You can go on a walk, talk with your friends, or anything you feel that would help you. This presentation has really helped me understand more towards mental health and mental illness. It's crucial for us to acknowledge the people who suffers mental illness these days.

Although it may be overlooked, mental health is a regular thing that impacts everyone as mental health treatment grows in numbers. It is no surprise that everyone faces mental health but it is important to be able to identify the differences in mental health versus mental illnesses. Mental illness are people with disorders like anxiety, post-traumatic stress and depression. For them to take stigmas for their mental illness is sick and rude. For instance, a person with dissociative identity disorder being associated with being a psychotic serial killer as their other personality is just false, if anything, this person is more likely to not be anything near this from their trauma. A mental disorder I was enlighten on today was postpartum depression. Mothers will feel tired, sluggish and depressed from their hormones changing, affecting the majority in current time. On the whole, this workshop was able to enlighten me on the current situation me on my mental health and surely help many students.

Although it may be overlooked, mental health is a regular thing that impacts everyone as mental health treatment grows in numbers. It’s no surprise everyone faces mental health, but it is important to be able to identify the differences for mental illnesses in comparison. Mental illness are people with disorders like anxiety, post-traumatic stress and depression. For them to take stigmas for their mental illness is sick and rude. For perspective, someone with dissociative identity disorder being associated with a psychotic serial killer as their other personality is just false, if anything, this person is more likely to not be anything near this from their trauma. Notably, it doesn’t help with social media being uneducated and stating their beliefs whenever they get the chance. Despite this, the internet helps my mental health in distracting me from reality in a sort and brings short-term happiness. For instance, when I visit YouTube videos I did when I was younger, the nostalgia of happiness I felt allows me to relive those moments, unlike real life. Also, a mental disorder I learned today was postpartum depression. Mothers will feel tired, sluggish and depressed from their hormones changing, affecting the majority in the current time. As it happens, they need to deal with us crying every night and be a good role model because that is what society has come to. On the whole, this workshop was able to enlighten me on the current situation on my mental health and surely help many students.

"You're mental!" Can be heard in movies and tv shows. Usually when characters are talking about someone who behaves a bit crazy. The word "mental" does not mean crazy. It means relating to the mind. Mental health. Mental Illness. These are both things to do with the mind. We all experience mental health. Stuff like stress. A mental illness is a condition that is diagnosed by a doctor. According to Here4Peers, one out of every three people in Canada has been diagnosed with a mental illness. This program told us that stereotypes online about people with mental illnesses can impact those people severely. For example, some people think that all people who have a mental illness are crazy. They might post a comment that contains something stereotypical. Someone might read said comment and feel like people are making fun of them. Depending on what mental illness they have, this comment might make them feel even worse. During the presentation, I learned that many kids who are having issues feel better when they talk to peers rather than go to a specialist. Saying things like "You're mental" or "You're crazy" could make them not feel like telling people about their problem. They would feel scared that you will make fun of them. SO if you ever hear someone tell another person that they are mental, let that person know that it's not okay to say that. Educate them. And if they don't care, let their target know that YOU DO. You just might make someone's life a whole lot better.

In today's workshop we talked about mental health. Mental health effects all of us all. During the presentation they told us that 1 in 3 people are effected with mental health in Canada. Somethings to help with the stress is to talk to a friend, go for a walk and play some games.
Before this presentation I knew what mental health is but I did not know a lot, but now I understand that it effects many people and that it is very important to help other people having the same problem.

Today, we learned about mental health, also known as stigma, that troubles one in three people on the whole planet.

Every one person in three people suffer through mental illness in once in a while. They either experience a extreme level of stress or/and anxiety.

Stress helps in life most of the time as a motivation to do things. It pushes people to become better versions of themself and create new possibilities under stress. But when it’s too much, it causes the brain to handle too much conflict and situations that it just overloads and malfunction.

Mental illness can result in depression, social isolation, a negative attitude against all things, and loneliness.
A lot of people on earth are suffering as we speak, and people from organizations are also constantly trying to help them.

Mental health is just as important as our physical health, as both keep us healthy.
Today at school, we attended an online workshop hosted by Here4Peers, an organization dedicated to spreading awareness on mental health to seventh graders in Vancouver. We learned that our mental health is like a bucket and everyone has a bucket coming in different sizes, as people have varying stress tolerance levels. We visualized the bucket as holding all of our stress, and having taps at the bottom of it, which are our methods of relieving stress. There are also taps on top of the bucket, and those taps dispense the stress into the bucket. However, some taps that drain the bucket arch back to refill the bucket. Those taps are called ‘false taps’, and they are methods of temporarily relieving stress, only to make it worse. We learned that some ‘false taps’ include social media, as scrolling through social media does not always help us mentally, and that some things to help reduce stress include music, art, and exercise. The presenters also explained how mental issues are often stigmatized by society, as some may think that people that are diagnosed with a mental disorder are crazy or scary. They explained that mental disorders are when people do not always have control over their emotions, and that social media has played a huge role in portraying mental disorders as bad and something to feel very negative towards. In the end, I now understand the importance of my mental health and that I should ask for help when needed, and to help others when they are struggling with their mental health too.

Today we learned about mental health and the stigmas surrounding it. 1 out of 3 people suffer from some form of mental illness once in their lifetime, be it depression or something else. But there are also many ways positively affect your mental health to decrease the chances of getting a mental illness. Such as going outside to walk, doing an activity you like, or talk with family or friends. This presentation has been very helpful for me to understand what mental health is and to erase the stigma and misbeliefs that surround it.

Today, we participated in a mental health symposium. It told us about regulating our mental health and how we needed to fight the stigmas. A thing we learned today was about mental wellness and how we need to regulate it. Another thing we learned today is how to regulate our mental health. We all have mental health, and we all need to regulate it. A way to regulate my mental health is taking a shower, listen to music, etc.

Mental Health is not really known to some people, but it is really important for all humans. Today, we had a online workshop on teams called "Here4Peers", and it talked about mental health. I learned that 1 in 3 people has suffered from mental illness. I also learned that women who just gave birth can have mental disorders. Some social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook are not good for your mental health. But some social media plat formats, such as Youtube can help your mental health. Mental health is a big thing for out life, and it is important like our psychical health.

Today, I watched a presentation from a certain group, which was about mental health. I learned that everyone has mental health, and the percentage of getting mental illness was 1/3 in people. Mental illness doesn't spread like the virus which is common right now, and social media such as YouTube could help regain good mental health. In conclusion, I have learnt that mental health is important to care.

Mental health is a very important aspect of life. Although it may seem like a minor condition compared to physical or psychological injuries, it is just as dangerous when not treated properly. In today's workshop, Here4peers, we learned about stigma and ways to treat mental illness through videos and a very interesting demonstration along with sixty-eight different grade seven classes around district 39. We followed along through poll questions as they demonstrated how mental illnesses functioned and affected different people. They simplified the idea for us using buckets. We imagined everyone's stress levels as buckets with taps running into it. The water level inside the bucket is the amount of stress one can hold. Everyone has different "taps" letting water run out. This may include a variety of sources from exercise to gaming. They also discussed “false taps”, which are “taps” that actually don't function. This includes social media, video games, etc. In short, stress is a very useful tool for survival, but can become dangerous when uncontrolled.

On an average 1 in 5 Canadians suffer with a mental illness per year.
This is extravagant! I learned more today about mental health. For instance, the amount of people facing this everyday. In the workshop I connected with something Ashe said. She explained how sometimes she would feel angry at her friend or sister(not sure) even though that it doesn't help and maybe end up making her feel upset too. So, from her experience she learned that it wasn't her fault for it. I also learned more about stigma. Stigma is basically shame for something about a person. For instance, people are being discriminated against for having a mental illness. This makes it hard for people to share their struggle and makes it overall worse. Mental health one of the most important things to care about. Maybe it's school, or your friends or even the pandemic creating anxiety, but we need to think about how it's not worth stressing and won't help the situation. "Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. It can tell you you're not good, that it's all hopeless. But remember this, you are loved, and important and you bring to this world. Things no one else can. So hold on." -Charlie Mackesy

Today at school, we attended a Here4Peers presentation that is about mental health and illness. In this presentation, I learnt that mental health is something that everyone had, but me talk illness is something that doctor diagnosed. Another thing that I learn was some calming techniques. Some examples are crying, exercising, and punching. One of the way to calm down was technology and social media. However, most of the social media app will create mental health except YouTube. YouTube was the app that will make people positive and make you relax. After this presentation, I learnt a lot of new things about mental health and hopefully, Here4Peers could continue these presentations.

Although it can be overlooked, mental health is a normal issue that influences every body as mental health help grows in numbers. It’s no wonder every body faces mental health, however it's miles crucial so that it will perceive the variations for intellectual ailments in comparison. Mental contamination are human beings with issues like anxiety, post-stressful strain and depression. For them to take stigmas for his or her mental illness is unwell and rude. For perspective, a person with dissociative identification sickness being related to a psychotic serial killer as their different persona is simply false, if some thing, this individual is much more likely to now no longer be some thing close to this from their trauma. Notably, it doesn’t assist with social media being uneducated and pointing out their ideals each time they get the chance. Despite this, the net allows my intellectual fitness in distracting me from fact in a type and brings short-time period happiness. For instance, once I go to YouTube movies I did once I changed into younger, the nostalgia of happiness I felt permits me to relive the ones moments, in contrast to actual life. Also, a intellectual sickness I discovered nowadays changed into postpartum depression. Mothers will experience tired, gradual and depressed from their hormones changing, affecting the bulk withinside the present day time. As it happens, they want to cope with us crying each night time and be an amazing position version due to the fact that's what society has come to. On the whole, this workshop changed into capable of enlighten me at the present day scenario on my mental health and sincerely assist many students.

Mental health. Ever heard that before? We all have mental health. According to spl.org, Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families As the World Health Organization famously says, “There is no health without mental health.” We all have emotions, feelings, thoughts and moods that may influence our mental health, and that is perfectly normal. Mental health is extremely important. Today in class, we had a presentation about mental health. I learned that mental health declining for you was actually a bad thing, and that (some)social media has a big impact on your mental health declining. Things like YouTube might not impact your mental health that much, but i don't really know. Different people have different emotions. Some people express their emotions more, and some people don't, but theirs nothing wrong with that. Stay positive, and don't give up. People will accept you no matter who are, and not what you have, or what you are.

Today we attended a Microsoft Teams meeting with many other classes in the district. It was hosted by the HERE4PEERS organization and was about mental health and its difference from mental illness. Mental health is a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being. Reversely, mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or behavior. I learned that everyone has mental health (just at different levels), mental illness is a disorder that people get for many different reasons, and lots of people think mental illnesses are shameful and avoid talking about the stigmas.
First of all, everyone has mental health. Mental health is the successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships, being able to adapt to change and cope with adversities. It is important for the well-being of people’s minds and will affect the thinking and actions of people. In the performance of the presentation, Ashley’s grandmother cared for Ashley’s mental health, and Ashley was able to think more positively, and became much happier. Therefore, mental health helps control emotions, improving the people’s thinking.
On the contrary, mental illness refers to all mental disorders, characterized by alterations in thinking mood or behaviors associated with distress or impaired functioning. Mental illnesses affect people’s mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders and addictive behaviors. According to the presentation, 1 in 3 Canadian children have mental illnesses. Also, in the performance, Ashley’s mother had Postpartum depression, which was a mental illness that occurred after giving birth. Ashley’s mother often felt very blue, and she sometimes ate very little food at mealtimes. That being the case, mental illness results in emotional disorders, and affect the physical health conditions.
In addition, most people conceal their mental illness problems, which make those problems even worse. With no one to help them, they could only suffer even more pain. So, people who do have mental illnesses can tell the world about themselves. On the other hand, people should be inclusive, accept people with mental illnesses and help them. In the performance of the presentation, Ashley's mother joins a club where many people helped her solve the problems with her mental illness. So, everybody should work together to help solve mental illness problems.
In conclusion, mental health is very important for people to live a normal and happy life. Also, mental illness is a serious problem which affects the physical health conditions. Lastly, people should be open minded, understanding, and supporting each other, to overcome mental illness.
