Mental Elf Wellbeing Challenge
Mental Elf Wellbeing Challenge for Schools & Youth Groups
Calling all Lancashire School’s, Youth Zones and Clubs – join us for a very special festive wellbeing challenge.
Mental wellbeing is a normal part of daily life, in the same way as physical health. The benefits that physical exercise, time outdoors, mindfulness and community participation can have on mental wellbeing and happiness shows no limits.
The Mental Elf Wellbeing Challenge enables young people to experience the importance of developing resilience and positive mental health through engaging activities and working together to complete a challenge.
