FOCUS Fund participated in the International College’s yearly Wellbeing Day.  FOCUS members set up activities on IC’s upper school campus that engaged students from the middle and high school during recess time. Participants learned about various mental health topics and disorders.

Students answered basic questions that stimulated their thinking to what could have been stereotypical assumption about mental health issues. Activities as such aim to raise awareness about mental health and promote acceptance and tolerance.   Some students even engaged in passing on on-the-spot acts of kindness such as giving hugs to each other and spending time with other students who were spotted sitting alone. 

This well-rounded intervention raised this age-group’s attention to the importance of mental health among school-aged kids.
