Gumboot Friday - Supporting
Mental Health
Jumbo - Welcome back bloggers to another good post of mine.
On Tuesday 10th of March our syndicate went around posting positive
letters to houses all around our community for Gumboot Friday. Gumboot
Friday is all about raising awareness about mental health and supporting the
people with mental health problems, having empathy for the people that
struggle with it. Our school brought our gumboots to help support - the
reason gumboots are worn is because having bad mental health can feel
like you are going through mud like going through negative thoughts.

We all wrote at least 3 positive quotes / messages to help people think good
things about themselves. The idea all started when we filled in a Healthy
Puketapapa Student Questionnaire, we got the mental health idea because
a lot of people circled that for what they thought would make our community
better. A girl named Neeve at our school came up with the idea of posting
positive notes in people's letter boxes. This mental health idea also relates
to our school focus topic - Hauora - Wellbeing.
Every year we have a different focus and this years is the best
(In my opinion.) I think Gumboot Friday Is a good idea and I think every year
we should post positive letters to help people think good things about
themselves. Next time we are going to write on the bottom ‘’ Please pass
this on ‘’ and hopefully they will get passed on and will go further than our
area / community! Here is a link to the Gumboot Friday give a little page.
I hope you have a lovely day! Blog ya later!
