健康周 | #hereforyou Wellness Week

Wellness Week 2019 #hereforyou

導語

本次期中考試周被賦予了更為豐富的內(nèi)涵與意義——“身心健康周”。在經(jīng)歷較強壓力的時候，人們往往會因為太忙了”、“沒時間”等，忽視自己的身心健康。在“身心健康周”期間，我校心理學專業(yè)和CPO兒童保護組織的老師們組織了豐富多彩的“午間福利站點”，鼓勵七德師生高效利用課余時間，關(guān)愛自身心理健康，掌握更多簡單易行又能鼓舞人心的健康做法。

Nov. 4thto Nov. 8th(Monday to Friday) is exam week. We also decided to make it wellness week. The reason why we do it that way is because it’s in the time of extreme stress, we tend to ignore our mental wellbeing. We come up with excuses like, I’m too busy. Or I don’t have time for that. During this wellness week, we encourage everyone at Qibao Dwight to take a few minutes and do something for your mental wellbeing because just a little bit can go a long way.

#hereforyou 是一個由Instagram發(fā)起的一個心理健康活動，旨在傳播人們對心理健康的認識，并提醒自我留意感受來自周圍人的關(guān)愛與善意。其主旨與我們的身心健康周不謀而合，七德老師們希望大家知道：在七德，有我們；我們?yōu)槟愣冢覀兓ハ喾龀帧?/p>

#hereforyou is a mental health campaign started by Instagram. Its purpose is to spread awareness regarding mental health and remind everyone that people around us are there for us. We really like its message so we used it for our wellness week as well. We want people to know that we are here for you and we are here for each other.

我們設置了3個站臺：能量補充站，減壓站，以及鼓勵站。在減壓站，放置了繪本、棋牌、毛線、減壓球、折紙。最受歡迎的是減壓球和折紙，同學們紛紛前來領(lǐng)取參與，重復擠壓減壓球可以很好地幫助釋放緊張與壓力；而折紙則是我們共同的回憶，折紙作為一項古老又寧靜的手工，有益身心放松與集中注意。

We’ve set up 3 stations:the energy boost station, mindfulness station, and words of encouragement station. For the mindfulness station, we have coloring books, chess, yarn and needles, squishy balls and origami paper to help destress. We found the squishy balls and the origami paper are the most popular. As soon as the squishy balls arrived at the station, they were gone in a few seconds. The repeated squeezing and stretching of the squishy toy helps to release tension and stress. Origami paper was a shared memory among students. We can all recall the first time we folded a paper airplane. As an ancient, peaceful craft that is not just for children, Origami can also be used as a way to enhance mindfulness for people of all ages.

鼓勵站：有近200名學生在鼓勵墻上寫下鼓勵同學的話語和感謝，傳播正能量、分享感受、珍惜友誼、互相鼓勵，讓校園充滿溫情與正能量。

Words of encouragement: We had almost two hundred students offer words of encouragement to their peers - from wishing them well on their exams to just letting them know that they are appreciated as a friend. The opportunity to write something positive, share their feelings, value their relationships, and lift someone's spirits opened students hearts and let them breathe life into the activity. There were smiles, laughter, and a warm energy that was infectious! The board is on display in the Office of Student Affairs but there are plans to make it more visible on campus.

七德學生會合理運用七德學生會基金，為同學們準備了健康堅果和新鮮果汁，不僅為體力、腦力加油，更積極傳遞了互相關(guān)愛的正能量。

For the Energy Boost Station, the student committee generously used part of their budget to purchase the nuts, raisins and juice to help boost students and teachers’ energy during the exam week. The student committee is sending a message the community: “They are here for us!”

健康周的最后一天，同學們參與了英文口語活動，鼓勵他們在午餐時間暢所欲言，分享自己的所思所想。聊天主題包括心理健康、壓力管理、放松方式、溝通交流和友誼。

On the last day of wellness week all students took part in an English-speaking activity known as Fluency Friday whereby students are encouraged to have conversations during lunch time. This activity allows learners to practice speaking openly and helps them to feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts on certain topics. Speaking openly and sharing was a key theme of wellness week. The conversation topics of this Fluency Friday event were centred around physical and mental wellbeing, stress management, relaxation, communication and friendship. The response was great with many students having meaningful conversations and sharing their thoughts and experiences related to wellness.

我們還舉辦了驚喜活動“海報挑戰(zhàn)”——尋找校園內(nèi)各個角落的#hereforyou海報，學習心理學知識，與同學間探討健康的生活、學習方式。

During the Wellness Week, we also had a poster challenge where we encourage the community to find the #hereforyou posters we put up and start to talk about mental health openly and genuinely.
