@LaurierWellness Do you have any tips to help our friends struggling with mental health issues? How can we be supportive of our friends?

@angiexx2012xx Hi Angie! You're completely right, being in these situations can be both emotionally and physically exhausting. Do you have any useful tips to help others who may have experienced this? How can those around this individual support them?

Great video on wildfire awareness! Very useful especially with the coming summer season.

The Mental Health Foundation (UK) has released an informative infographic on ways to help with one's mental health. These tips are definitely useful to students. #EM203

Consider this picture as a WLU student. There is a friendship bench that is located on campus that is a spot for helping a friend with a mental illness or even wanting to speak to someone. #EM203W19

This link provided some good advice on the ways in which we can be supportive and aware of the people around us, particularly their struggle with mental health. It highlights ways we can pick up on a cry for help

Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. #InternationalWomensDay

@AkawiCaroline a problem that could be included are the economic struggles that affect these citizens such as poor income and it's relation for the ability to afford and access reliable/safe food and water, etc. #EM203problems

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@EM2013VCation Another problem you could explore could be the effects restaurants and hotels have on a large amount of plastic waste in the ocean #EM203Problems

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@203OKalbfleisch Another problem to be identified would be the easy accessibility of marijuana and the second-hand smoke that could affect those around the smoker. This could be a problem when in smoking in public particularly #EM203Problems

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@AlannahBondy Another problem you could explore could be the affects that lack of physical activity holds over mental health #EM203Problems

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@EM203Julianne Another problem with mental health could be the lack of resources or availability of counsellors and doctors, specifically on campuses #EM203problems

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@em203drandhawa A problem associated with shipping pollution that one could explore would be the economic and financial effects

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@EM203mshac You had a great concept map! One problem I have come up with would be to explore ADHD in the workplace and the ways in which it affects adults.

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@EM203bgoodfello Another problem associated with obesity would be the lack of education towards food portions. Although health and PE are not mandatory in high school, healthy cooking and living classes should be.

Twitter allows people from all around the world with similar opinions and interests to expand their knowledge. Grow your connections and expand your mind! #EM203

@CarolineEm203 Well said! I also found constructivism quite interesting as it shows that experiences are valuable and crucial for humans to learn and acquire information. #EM203

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@EM203DTaylor Me too! I could never understand how my friends could "concentrate better" while listening to music, specifically, music with catchy lyrics. #EM203

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@em203Kalbfleish Completely agree with you! Learning through media and technology can have both positive and negative impacts, but this seems to be the direction we are heading in educational institutions and gives the student more freedom to learn individually. #EM203

[CarolineMAkawi @AkawiCaroline]

@EM203HannahF So true! Some people thrive learning one way and others thrive learning another way. It is just about finding what learning technique works best for the individual. #EM203
