Now, use your worksheet or paper to rate your learning, give an upwards arrow (confident), sideways arrow (in-between) or downwards arrow (not confident) if you can…

… describe what makes people move along the mental health spectrum.
… name some common factors that are triggers for moving towards mental ill-health.
… choose one protective/bounce factor for each category of MY5 and put it into practice daily.
