How to deal with stress
Many pupils suffer from stress and anxiety and they feel overwhelmed with all the demands and expectations at school and in their freetime. During the project period we want to promote the messages "You're enough" and "When you're doing your best, that's enough".
We want to teach our pupils how to deal with stress and other mental issues by teaching them how to look after own mental health. We also want to teach school staff how to face the wellbeing issues and how to give every pupil the feeling of importance and respect. It's about paying more attention to the pupils and to support all of them, to notice everybody and to encounter teenagers, opening the dialogue with an teenager by looking the teenager in the eyes and simply saying "Hello! How are you doing?" This is what the young people of today need, someone reliable to talk to and someone who listens to and shows caring.
Enrico, wellbeing agent of Oriveden lukio, wrote a column about dealing with stress as a secondary school student.
