MentalHealthMatters
Our mental health can affect our daily lives in so many ways, so these services support you to overcome all sorts of obstacles. They might help you to gain confidence, socialise more if you’re feeling isolated, or find a hobby or coping strategy that works for you.
There’s no ‘one size fits all’ way to improve everyone’s wellbeing. Instead, we provide you with one-on-one support with our Mental Health Advocates (MHA), who specialise in supporting your mental health to help you cope better in your daily life. MHA will help you work towards what YOU want to do, building on your strengths and goals. They’ll be there for you on your journey towards independence and better mental health.
Our Approach
SafeActivePeriods aims to address the lack of factually right, engaging and socially acceptable knowledge on menstruation. We have been teaching all children and adults, irrespective of gender identity, about their body, and its emotional and physical needs without any shame, confusion or guilt. We aim to address issues of body shaming, impact period positivity, engage care and love towards one’s body, and focus a lot on safety too, especially of the ‘female body’. We question socio-cultural status quo and provide an answer around the following topics -
Menstrual and Vaginal Products – Use, Maintenance, & Economical Viability
Incorporating Traditional Remedies and Practices
Environmental Safety and Pollution
Health, Hygiene, Safety
School Positive Menstruality Program
Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM ) is an important component of SafeActivePeriods Mission.
As a new concept in schools, School Positive Menstruality Program offers various kinds of support to teachers to establish MHM programs and facilities to keep girls and female teachers in school. This program was designed to help teachers, school health and nutrition (SHN) coordinators, and other school personnel in Government schools to carry out MHM programs or activities in their school. It is organized into three sections:
Awareness
basic information about puberty, menstruation, and MHM
School Auditing
a checklist for schools to use to ensure that they have all the elements needed for a good MHM program
interactive games and activities that will engage students to learn about MHM including an activity that shows students how they can make their own pads or sanitary towels
Gamified Period Fest
