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.
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.
