Raising awareness of our mental health and wellbeing
Access GCSEPod has teamed up with two leading charities, The Body Happy Org and YoungMinds, to create new mental health resources for students, teachers, and parents.
We all know that we need to look after our physical health. PE lessons at school or hobbies at home are great ways to keep moving, but body image is more than just taking the time to exercise. When you look in the mirror, there may be things you want to change. Our interactive lessons and quizzes will help you to understand those feelings and learn to accept who you are.
Did you know that looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your body? It can be difficult to talk about times when you feel angry, anxious, or even depressed, but you aren’t alone. Our video pods and learning materials will talk you through how to manage difficult emotions and ask for support.
Why is mental health important?
The Body Happy Org found in a recent survey that 66% of young people have negative feelings about their body. YoungMinds reported that 1 in 6 children have a mental health condition. It has never been more important to talk about the pressures of school, the influence of social media, and changes in the world around us. Sharing information is the first step in spreading awareness about mental health and connecting students with the right resources.
Why did Access GCSEPod create this content?
Access GCSEPod is passionate about improving the lives of young people and helping them to reach their full potential.
YoungMinds and The Body Happy Org provide specialist support and information. We wanted to combine the charities’ trusted advice with GCSEPod’s expertise in digital learning. The result is a set of resources that make mental health guidance accessible and easy to understand.
