About my page

I created this website for my Middle Years Programme (MYP) Community Project assignment. I chose to write about mental health because it is an issue very close to me.  I have friends who have struggled with their mental health, I have family who have struggled with their mental health and also I have myself struggled with my mental health, namely anxiety. I feel that it is such a rampant issue in Scottish teenagers, that has been increasing in recent years.  I feel that there was limited information and tools to use or information on places to go to for support.  For example, if you do not have the finances or feel unable to open up to friends or family for any reason, maybe you feel shame or are unsure hhow others may react to you. This website is intended as a toolkit or backpack of information about mental health, ways to regulate your emotions, information about different mental health disorders, and also help lines and support systems local to Fife where I am based in Scotland.
