July 20, 2021I find my myself taken aback to Chimamanda’s danger of single story and this module did an excellent job in highlighting how we can we can document people’s skills and knowledge ways that are honouring. An encyclopedia of young people’s knowledge and life-saving tips was golden.

March 12, 2021I think when children and youth can be guided to name their problems and find their own solutions or sources of inspiration and hope is so powerful.

January 14, 2021The comment here that really sticks is ‘Governments lead people into depression and then try to lead them out again.’ If only governments listen more to what people are actually saying and the bold, strong ideas that are being put forward by communities, rather than continuing to fight against them.

December 26, 2020That’s really helpful, not only for youths but even adults. This saying does not help only youths “Patience is really very important and it’s very true that we should have more than one goal”
Also I liked this “Make your body tired so your mind can forget” this is really true and helps a lot.
Thank you so much.

October 23, 2020It was really interesting to see how people helping others with depression helped them with their journey. These tips are really useful for assisting people particularly those from people who are from diverse cultures. These are important stories of resilience that should be celebrated.

October 7, 2019I really loved the video ‘Surviving the Ocean of Depression’ there were so many strategies offered for supporting well-being but my favourite example was swimming in the ocean, the ocean is a healing place for me.

October 28, 2017I’ve had my anticipation built up since I first heard about this compiling of young people’s knowledges a few years ago & am glad that it’s come to fruition! So often young folks get portrayed as having lesser knowledge than adults or none at all.I especially like that this is a “living document” that will continue to flower! I’m glad as an adult to be a recipient of these treasures & as a purveyor to others!
