Marr College - Mental Health Matters!
Our Mental Health Ambassadors are keen to help support students and staff – and Mr Bell
has put together some tips to help with social distancing. We also have some helpful
information and links on our school website.
Routine
We all require some kind of routine to
provide structure and discipline in our lives.
Routines help us cope with change, to form
healthy habits and reduce our stress levels.
Don’t keep looking at the news – if you need
to build it in to your routine to check once or
twice a day.
This includes sleep. Try to stick to your normal
school-time sleep routine. Wake up in time
for school to start.
Keep Active
Music
live Physical activity can help maintain mental
wellbeing. The endorphins released during
exercise help improve mood, energy levels
and even sleep. Together these can have a
positive effect on improving our self-
confidence and resilience.
Staff at Marr have created a Playlist of their
favourite Feel Good song. Have a listen,
enjoy, cringe at your teachers’ choices or
guess who chose what. Why not try Joe Wicks’ exercise class at 9am
each morning on his YouTube channel? It’ll
help you start your day the right way (Mr Bell
and his two toddlers have been doing this
every morning).

Research shows that music can stimulate the
body’s natural feel good chemicals. It can
help energise our mood and provide an
outlet for us to take control of our feelings.
