This resource pack has been created for schools and youth groups to get involved in #BeeWell Week, taking place Monday 18th – Sunday 24th September 2023. The week is about celebrating making young people’s wellbeing everybody’s business.
Some resources included are provided by #BeeWell, with a focus on ‘finding the balance’. Working with our Youth Steering Group, we have created a session plan to think about the different things young people need to do for their wellbeing, and what good balance looks like.
Our #BeeWell Coalition of Partners have also provided a selection of wellbeing resources and activities that you can use to celebrate the week and start a conversation with young people.
This page will be regularly updated throughout September 2023 – watch this space!
Designed with our Youth Steering Group, this activity explores the definition of wellbeing and what it means to find the balance between all the things that impact wellbeing. This worksheet can be accompanied by wellbeing-boosting activities from our partners.
At #BeeWell Festival, we will also be asking young people to let us know what makes a good place to go. If you can’t make it to the Festival but want to run an activity thinking about good places to go, download our Good Places to Go worksheet.
