My self-care plan: secondary and FE

This resource walks young people through a series of steps, helping them create a detailed self-care plan that works for them.

This resource belongs to the resource hub for classroom and wellbeing support.

The plan helps young people identify activities that they can use to support their mental health. It’s adaptable on a weekly or monthly basis, so that it can fit differing schedules or priorities.

The suggested activities in the plan are split into different categories, including:

  • physical activities
  • emotional activities
  • social activities
  • practical activities

The resource was co-written by Anna Freud experts and young people, who shared ideas on self-care strategies that work for them.
