[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1022103, member: 70552"] Something that really interests me and what can be done to help everyone’s mental health. If this pandemic has exposed anything is how badly mental health has been affected amongst all age groups and lack of education coping strategies to deal with it because it can ultimately lead to sad stats like the 7% of UK children attempting to take their own lives. This is the ultimate thing we want to avoid and eradicate. Talking is one way, but what happens if a person doesn’t want to or feel like talking? Or not part of a culture or upbringing that allows talking about one’s feelings openly to improve mental health. Playing sport and socializing has been another way to help one’s mental health, but what happens if there was another lockdown? Or if kids don’t actually enjoy playing sport or interested and been pushed into it by their parents? That’s why personally I think meditation techniques should be taught from young age. To help cope with anxiety and staying in the present moment as part of a wider discussion and education on mental health. Just like physical exercise; mental health can also be worked on each day.
