【活動回顧】學生領袖培訓計劃: 健康生活「《壓力飛走吧!關於我在澳大不再emo的二三事》」活動圓滿結束

近年來,大學生面臨的壓力明顯增大,心理健康問題變得越來越普遍。因此,學生領袖培訓計劃(下稱SLP)成員策劃了《壓力飛走吧!關於我在澳大不再emo的二三事》的活動,希望透過活動帶出心理健康的訊息,提供正確的壓力緩解方法並宣傳校內外有關心理健康的資源。

活動於2023413日和20日舉行。活動由破冰遊戲開始,參加者互相認識的同時,亦發表了對於壓力的個人見解和個人經驗分享。接著,參加者觀賞了三條由SLP成員拍攝的短片,片中描述了一些現今大學生常見的煩惱。主持人引導參加者思考每個情境所導致的壓力,以及帶領參加者討論一些健康的、可行的及安全的解壓方式。及後,參加者透過一些卡片,分享自己生活中遇到的難題和壓力,透過與他人的交流,討論出解決問題的方法或減輕這些困境對自己生活的負面影響。活動的最後,呼應本次活動的名稱「壓力飛走吧」,參加者將自己的壓力和不愉快寫在紙上,並把它折成紙飛機放飛,寓意煩惱與壓力都可以像紙飛機一樣飛走。

參加者在活動後的反饋中,都表示能夠在本次活動中學習到減輕壓力的方式,並且認識到有關心理健康的支援資源。亦有參加者認為本次活動設計的遊戲有趣,整體的氣氛讓人感到放鬆和快樂,有舒緩到自己的壓力。在此再次感謝同學們的踴躍參與,冀同學們積極運用於本次活動中學到的知識,以正確的方式排解自身的壓力,並幫助到身邊有心理健康需要的朋友。

學生領袖培訓計劃於2020年起推行,旨在透過不同活動及訓練,培育及發展學生的領袖素質,提昇學生的領導能力和溝通技巧,加強他們的自信心及獨立思考能力,學員須於學期完結前籌辦不同主題的專項活動。有關計劃的招募及詳情,請瀏覽https://go.um.edu.mo/pc7aglzv

 

In recent years, pressure encountered by university students has become a common phenomenon. Therefore, members of the Student Leadership Training Programme (SLP) organized an activity “Stress Fly Away! No more emotional breakdown in UM”. It aimed to bring out the message of mental health and provide the correct way to relieve stress, as well as promote the resources of mental health on and off-campus. 

The activities took place on April 13 and 20, 2023. It began with ice-breaking games in which participants get to know each other and expressed their opinions about stress, and also shared their own experiences. Then, participants watched three videos presenting the stressful scenario of university students. The host led the participants to think about the stress caused by each scenario, and discuss some healthy, feasible and safe ways to relieve stress. Afterwards, participants used some cards to share the difficulties and pressures they encounter in their daily lives, and discussed with others to come up a solution caused by these difficulties. At the end of the event, in response to the name of the event “Stress Fly Away!”, participants wrote down their stress and unhappiness and folded the paper into an airplane and fly it away, refer to the meaning of throwing troubles and stress out.

After the event, most participants said that they could learn some ways to reduce their stress and acknowledged some supporting resources related to mental health in this event. Some participants also said that the games were interesting, and the overall atmosphere made people feel relaxed and happy, cheering them up and relieving their own stress. We thank them for their participation. We hoped that the participants could actively apply the knowledge they learned in this activity, so they could relieve their own pressure in the correct way and help people around them who have mental health needs.

Student Leadership Training Programme was established in 2020 with the aim to nurture and develop students’ leadership qualities through different activities and training, enhance their self-confidence, communication and independent thinking skills. Programme members are required to organize theme-based activities by the end of semester. For details about the programme, please browse https://go.um.edu.mo/pc7aglzv
