VCAL Year 12 Update

VCAL Year 12 Update

On Tuesday the 11th of August, Year 12 Barry joined in on a zoom session with Sam Niasmith the ruckman from the Sydney Swans, and The Black Dog Mental Health Institute.

During the session they spoke to us about ways to deal with mental health through things like meditation, breathing techniques and finding things you enjoy in things you do in life. They went through different mental health situations and techniques and as different techniques were explained Sam talked about his experiences and how he has resolved them using the strategies provided from the Black Dog Institute.

Throughout the zoom we participated in thinking exercises about what we are grateful for and a group meditation. It was a really interesting and informative session, helping us to better understand our PDS (Personal Development Skills) theme of Mental Health and young people.
