Social
Suggested Social activities:
Talk to your friends online or find an online support group
“Everyone communicates in different ways, and sometimes it can feel easier to talk about what’s on your mind via an online chat. You may find this quieter and less pressurising than face-to-face conversation.“
Discover a range of online support groups to help if you’re feeling low or anxious.
Create a playlist with your friends
“I think it helped because it removed me from the issues which were bothering me. I was able to just enjoy the music rather than having to think about anything else.“
Take part in a photography challenge with your friends
“Photography allows me to look closely at things, and let myself see the beauty in tiny little things. If I don’t have a camera with me, it is easy to walk fast and stay stuck inside my own head, but if I have a camera, I start looking out, dragging me out of my own head.“
Read how photography can help your wellbeing, including some simple tips for taking a good photo.
Join a local youth group
“‘Finding a group of people with similar interests to me really helped my confidence and helped me make new friends.“
Read how joining a youth group has helped other young people.
