Tools For Teens HAPPINESS AND HEALTHY MINDSET , A Journey into Myself, Two- day program: (Talk and six 90min workshops)

Tools for Teens - HAPPINESS AND HEALTHY MINDSET aims to give all Year 11 to Year 13 students a toolbox of practical, and easy-to-implement mindset techniques via an introductory talk, followed up by engaging, fun and thought-provoking workshops. 

  INSPIRATIONAL TALK :  ’Happiness, and tools for a healthy mindset in times of stress´ 

This is an inspirational talk to invite students to rethink concepts such as happiness, success, failure, pain and opportunity; and to give them tools to support themselves through emotional rollercoasters, as well as minimizing the potential stress in the lead-up to NCEA internals and exams. 

 
- What is happiness? 
- The power of being present - the distraction of social media
- Reset and reframe: positive self-talk and constructive visualization
- Choosing happiness- Freeing ourselves of unhelpful habits and thought distortions
- Challenging the victim mindset. 
- Tangible tools to use to improve their mental health in times of low mood or stress.  

 The talk is to be held in the hall for all senior students at the morning at Assembly. After the talk students break off into workshops in smaller groups for the workshops:

  WORKSHOPS: A Jouney into Myself 

Workshops are meant to deepen the understanding of themes touched upon in the talk. These will be given in a safe, structured but informal manner,  in a spacious room (drama room/library/hall),  and will include fun interactive, physical team-building and trust exercises, as well as a goal-setting session with help of a handout. 

The workshops are in 3 parts, each building on the one before, and run without a break: the first 30 minutes are centered around physical body,  trust,  team-builiding, fight or flight ("reptilian" fight flight freeze brain); the second are focussed on discovering  emotions  and  mind-body connection  (limbic/emotional "mammal"brain) and the third is about  goal-setting  and discovering  stengths,  values  and  beliefs  (neo-cortex, rational "human" brain) 

Students will be given colourful , insiring handouts to work from, and will leave the session with a toolbox of practical and easy-to-implement mindset techniques. 

This program is aimed at ALL senior students, regardless of their abilities, gender and their cultural or socio-economic backgrounds. Stress, anxiety, and overload can affect anyone,  and for the concepts to be widely accepted and trust to be formed among students, it is important that no particular cohort of students is singled out.
