Help for Life Project 2025

The Help for Life Project continues its legacy of fostering mental health awareness and integrative practices in schools, building upon the achievements of its previous four seasons. With each iteration, the project has expanded its reach, fine-tuned its methodologies, and introduced innovative solutions to address mental health challenges in children and teenagers.

In this fifth season, the project aims to impact 1,950 students aged 7 to 17 years across various schools through integrative actions, psychologist consultations, and mindfulness practices. This year’s efforts include new methodologies such as the introduction of a “kit maker” to link physical and mental health, facilitation training for teachers, and integrating Reiki alongside yoga for younger students.

Objectives

  • Raise Mental Health Awareness: Equip students, teachers, and parents with tools and knowledge to address mental health challenges effectively.
  • Integrative Practices for Well-Being: Promote activities like yoga, tai chi chuan, and kung fu to improve mental and physical resilience.
  • Strengthen School Support Systems: Collaborate with school staff to implement sustainable methodologies and practices.
  • Innovate Learning Approaches: Incorporate the “kit maker” to blend physics and mental health awareness into engaging, practical experiences.

Implementation Timeline

The program will run from February 2025 to November 2025 (10 months).
