Self-care is about the things we can do to look after our own mental health
The Anna Freud Website shares strategies to help you to manage your wellbeing. It’s up to you to decide what helps. If it works, keep doing it. If it doesn’t, stop and try something else.
What we liked about the site:
It includes a range of text, images and videos to help explain the different self-help strategies which helps keep you interested.
It acknowledges we are not all the same so what works for one person won’t necessarily work for someone else
There isn’t much academic research in the area of self-care for young people. You have the option to feedback to the site creators and be part of future learning
Introduces some new strategies such as Colour Therapy. Never heard of it before so made for interesting reading
Good to read positive stuff about coding and gaming.
What we didn’t like:
Still LOTS of reading. Could you say the same with less words?
My Self Care Plan Secondary is a useful download. Would be great if could be editable online. Who has a printer?
