Stress and how it affects the body and brain
In this week’s Thursday Reflection, pupils discussed what they understood about mental health and how it might affect them.
They considered signs of good and bad mental health. They focussed especially on stress, what it is and how it can affect the body and brain. After watching the TED-ed video ‘How stress affects the brain’ by Madhumita Murgia, they considered whether they might ever suffer from stress and techniques they could use to overcome it.
