Hello, and welcome to my week seven blog! In just a short week, we have so much more to talk bout. Today, we met for the first time in a few weeks and have decided that our spring event would benefit the most from being held after school, at our school. As we discussed this I brought up a potential idea for our event- yoga! I brought this up, because it has always helped me be less anxious and a lot of research says that yoga has been proven to help people who suffer from anxiety and depression. Also, high school is quite stressful, and it helps a lot to slow down and breath. Although it's not set in stone, we think it is a great option for us. As we continue our project, we continue learning new things about ourselves, others and mental health, which we hope people can benefit the same from it.

Yoga is a great idea! Be sure to have a solid plan before coordinating with the school.

Introduction-Week OneHello! I'm Jackie and I attend Civic Memorial High School. I am working on this amazing project, "Project Auxilium" with two of my friends as well. We decided to do this project together because we all have a passion for raising awareness for mental health because we all have family members who suffer or have suffered from some form of mental illness. We also noticed that many of our friends who have problems have no clue what they are, and believe that its normal. Our goal is to raise awareness for mental health, but we are not exactly sure what we event we plan to put on, potentially a mental health fair, a five k/ fun run or picnic. In order to put on this event, we plan to do many fundraisers through our school and community, like penny wars, selling t-shirts and whatever else that seems to benefit us. My fear is that we may not be successful in advertising and have little turn out to our event, but I believe that we will be able to do well. To combat this fear, we are going start and manage a few social media pages(most likely an Instagram page and Twitter) to spread awareness as well. Our dream would be to be able to make our event annual and not just a one time project. I'm very excited to be able to work with an amazing team to make a big difference in our small town. |
