This virtual mini session informed us on mental health and introduced me to terms like emotional wellness. Mental health is a big aspect to us as college students and it is easy to burnout from school and it affect our mental health. This was a good opportunity to learn how I can better identify when I'm not mentally well.
Emotional wellness is a term that describes the skill of comprehending and controlling emotions for positive outcomes and developing the strength to face life's obstacles. It comprises both positive emotional experiences and the development of resilience and self-awareness to establish healthy coping mechanisms. An important benefit of emotional wellness lies in its relationship with clear thinking and better decision-making abilities. People who consistently examine their emotional responses and identify what triggers them tend to choose their actions more deliberately.
The event was very informative, before I attended this event I have little idea about mental well-being, I am confidence that from now hence forth I will overcome all the emotional challenges I face by apply the strategies I learned today, overall the scenario activities was amazing as I get to l get to identify different ways people mental and emotional health are affected based on what happened on a daily basses.
I really liked this event. I personally do struggle with my emotional wellness and have been seeing a therapist to help with it. This event really brought up a lot of resources that my therapist provided as well like surrounding yourself with positive people. Having that support makes you feel that you can go keep going. This event also taught me a lot about what can happen when your emotional wellness is not good.
