Mind your mind

  • Aileen Keenaghan
Mind Your Mind is a campaign devoted to improving the emotional wellbeing and mental health of young people. Driven by their experiences, I have created an informative booklet that reaches out to both parents and their children in an effort to educate and explore what mental health issues are affecting youths today and why it is so important that they should look after their mental health.
Teens with mental health problems are at the heart of this entire project. Their voices are central in dealing with topics, information and solutions. While creating Mind Your Mind, I kept in mind that it is very important for parents or carers and their children to work together on these issues. Helping parents and carers to understand their child’s behaviour and enabling them to secure the right professional help for their children is crucial.
