Activity 01
Instructions 5 min
- Ask students to write down five local services they could access for a mental health issue – e.g. GP, youth service, school counsellor, Headspace.
- For each service, rank how likely they would be to access this service using the following colour code:
- red: would not use
- yellow: might use
- green: would use.
- Ask students what criteria they used to complete this task – e.g. cost, confidentiality, location.
- Ask students, for the services marked red, what would make it more likely for them to access the service.
