Note to Children (aged 8 to 12+):
My Mighty Mind is a well-being journal with lots of ideas to help your mind to feel strong and mighty! Looking after your mind is also called looking after your mental health. Hopefully, it will help your well-being too, because when we help our minds to feel strong, we can feel more confident and resilient. Extra resources to accompany the journal are available for free online on the accompanying Digital Companion Page here: www.otb.ie/mmm
This journal is designed for children aged 8-12+ although older children might find the activities beneficial too.
Note to Parents/Guardians/Carers:
We hope your child enjoys and benefits from this new well-being journal. It has been created to help them to understand and support their own mental health and well-being, using various strategies which can be thought of as ‘tools.’ It would be helpful to ask your child to talk about these strategies with you, so that you can support them too, and maybe talk about how you might use the tools yourself.
