For Stress Awareness Month, voters considered the role of play in combating stress, and how they might be able to incorporate more of this in their day-to-day lives.
Secondary, 16+ & College voters were asked: “Would more play reduce stress?”, Primary 7-11 voters discussed: “Would playing outside more improve your mental health?” and Primary 5-7 voters considered: “Does playing outdoors make you happier?”
Being indoors on screens keeps you awake, but getting out in the fresh air helps you get a good night's sleep.
Play is really important to reduce our stress, we think that a free period once a week for play would help us reduce our stress.
I think this was our first unanimous vote of all 8 interns. We called back to our wellbeing work on stress and self-care and decided that all types of people can benefit from developing ways of reducing stress through play, and this will be different for everyone.
