Free Adulting Series Session 1- Mental Health 

In the first session of our Adulting Series Thinkific course, you will have the chance to explore how mental health affects your interaction with others. You will gain a better understanding of the importance of knowing how you view and treat yourself. By the end of the session, you will have learned how to identify poor mental health patterns and how to eliminate the stigma around mental health. The course will help you develop mechanisms to track your negative thinking patterns and any self-doubt behaviors. We provide you with various techniques to handle stress and find balance between work and life. Participants will learn how to take care of their mental health when they experience changes in their life such as living in a pandemic. 

One of the resources we offer in the course is a Mood Board tracker. When we created our first session, we did not want it to be just another theoretical course about mental health. We wanted to equip you with resources to help you and others in your circle who experience mental health issues. That’s why we created a mood board tracker; it is the first step to discover which variables alter your mood. In the tracker, there are four zones of regulations: low energy and motivation to participate, attentive and feeling proactive, uncomfortable and needs to focus, and full of negative emotions and might act harshly. 

Why do you need to create a mood board tracker? 

Its purpose is to help you stay attentive to your emotional needs and aid in feeling proactive. It enables you to express your thoughts and recognize triggers that negatively affect your mood. This helps you find solutions to regulate or eliminate those triggers. 

To fully leverage the mood board tracker, consistency is the key! You can start adding information weekly and gradually fill the tracker daily. It is helpful to review the tracker every three weeks to identify any patterns that may need extra attention. When you organize your thoughts and keep a daily record, you will discover new parts of yourself. Our course will help you understand the signs and factors that cause mental health issues. By utilizing this tool, you are providing yourself a safe environment for self-development.

We highly encourage you to watch our overview video below of this course to give you a better idea of what you will be learning as you take our online Adulting Course.
