Run a Feels FM Activity to help tackle mental health stigma and discrimination for young people in Scotland.
What is Feels FM?
Feels FM is the world's first emoji powered jukebox for mental health. It's been made with young people, to promote music as a positive coping strategy to deal with feelings and encourages young people to to share their views on what would make a difference for young people in Scotland to help end mental health stigma and discrimination.
We have updated FeelsFM with new emojis, new playlists, new questions, and an updated activity to go along with it
Running Your Own Feels FM Activity
Alongside the online platform, young people have also helped us to make a Feels FM activity which brings Feels FM to life, to support young people to have conversations about mental health.
The pack is great for youth, community, or school groups, and we will give you everything you need! All you need to do is download the pack below. Then you just follow the guidance in the pack and let us know how you got on!
You can run activities of varying size, just make sure you have enough facilitators to guide the conversations. We recommend at least one facilitator per 16 young people.
