LLU: Mental Health Month (email)

Mental Health Month is in October each year in NSW, Australia. I thought it would be nice to host a swap for this and check in with everyone. This year the theme for Mental Health Month is Tune In, so tune into your sense, feel and notice things around you...what is your mind telling you? your body?

For this swap, you will have four partners and you will be sending them an email following the prompts below. Please use the BCC function when emailing your partners.

In the email, write:

• How you are feeling. Tune In to your body and your surroundings, describe them, how they make you feel and keep present.

• Ask how your partner is feeling. How they handle bad mental health days and what they do to celebrate the good days.

• See if their library or other local community centre hosts events or raises awareness for mental health month or something similar in their country. Talk about if you have or don't have the same awareness or events at your library or another community centre.

• What do you think has been the most challenging of the pandemic thus far and how do you think you coped during it all?

(Interpret these questions in any way you like).

Stay safe, keep well, and stay strong. I believe in every single one of you and I know you got this!

Have a beautiful day!
