Red Cross Healthy Youth Relationships 2015

The team thought of three questions;

1. Why did you join this team?

2. What do you hope the project will accomplish?

3. What is a random fact about you.

I joined the mindyourmind social media project because I wanted to be involved in educating youth about healthy relationships and positive living.

I really hope our project can create an overall message for youth that everyone deserves respect and should be able to surround themselves with positive people.

A random fact about me is that I really enjoy caviar, and I still play with Lego and like dress -up games.

I joined this project to learn more about how social media can effectively be used to reach a large number of people specifically for important social issues.

Through co-developing a campaign that promotes healthy youth relationships, I aspire to develop the skills necessary to spread the message that youth have the power to make change–whether that change is in their personal relationships, their schools, or their communities.

A few random facts about me are that I enjoy swimming, playing the piano, travelling, and learning new languages. I am also a Canadian Red Cross:  Beyond the Hurt Youth Facilitator.

I joined this project to help reduce human suffering.

I want youth to know that relationships can always improve and that improving them is a goal worth pursuing.

I joined this project so that I can help others in any way possible to move forward from unhealthy relationships or just educate upcoming generations in general to stop relationship abuse in any form before it starts!

Mainly I hope that what we have done stops unhealthy relationships from becoming entwined within a young person’s lives as it can be very harmful and destructive. Also for those who are already experiencing or are in an unhealthy relationship I aspire that they can work with their partners to create something that they both feel comfortable in.
