To further strengthen campus mental health education, guide students to pay attention to their psychological wellbeing and care for their personal growth, and create a warm and positive campus psychological atmosphere, the Youth Volunteer Association of Limerick International College launched a themed mental health activity themed "525 Love Myself, Grow Toward the Sun" in front of the Student Canteen on May 23.
Centered on immersive interactive experiences, the event featured a host of fun and enlightening stress-relief activities. Heartwarming interactive sessions including "Give Me a High Five", "Bad Mood Recycling Bin" and "Thank You, Imperfect Me" drew enthusiastic participation from a large number of students. Students conveyed warmth by pressing handprints, released stress by writing down troubles and putting them into collection boxes, and communicated with themselves through writing heartfelt notes, achieving emotional relief and self-acceptance amid immersive experiences. Meanwhile, entertaining games such as "Chase Your Dreams with Balloon Bouncing" and "Blind Men Crossing the River" allowed students to unwind and ease stress in a lighthearted and joyful setting. The whole event proceeded in good order, with volunteers offering attentive service and actively guiding students to take part in every activity, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere on site.
Adopting innovative interactive formats, this mental health campaign popularized knowledge of psychological wellbeing, effectively raised students’ awareness of self-compassion and their ability to manage emotions, and encouraged them to face themselves squarely, embrace their imperfections and grow toward brightness. Moving forward, the college will continue to prioritize psychological education, diversify forms of mental health instruction, organize a wide range of regular psychological practice activities, and steadily reinforce the safeguard system for students’ mental health, so as to support students’ sound physical and mental development and facilitate the construction of a safe, harmonious campus.
