Are You Mentally Healthy? Advice from BIS Future Entrepreneurs

Hi students and parents, how are you really feeling today?

Do you feel under pressure or irritability?

• Extremely high and low moods?

• Excessive fear, worry, or anxiety?

• Social withdrawal？

• Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits？

The G12 business students understand them all. They have been through a lot. They are learning social marketing and they really care about mental health issues of students. Even the students who are currently learning from home right now understand pressure from being away from campus all the time.

The G12 business students created these two videos to help students to be aware of emotional issues. If you feel under pressure, talk to someone. We hear you!

As a student, you may have been through tough times like getting great pressure from your assignment, break relationships or isolation and loneliness. Through a short mime, students have shown how they will be distressed under different situations.

How to balance yourself? Another group give their answer through an animation:

It is to everyone’s concern of the importance of mental health.

It is to everyone’s concern of the importance of mental health.

She was forced to study online from home as her home country is locked down due to COVID-19. But as a G12 student, she feels lonely as separated from her teachers and classmates. What’s more, she sometimes gets anxious and worried as she feels uncertain towards the future.

Every time she’s got an unhappy face, she will have a chat with her mom. It turns out that talk and being listened are of great importance.

For students at BIS, they can go to the Student Services teachers as well as some other teachers or students to get more help and keep mental health.
