Think Big is a programme designed by O2 and Headstrong to enable young people to do projects in their community that make a difference to young peoples' mental health.
So what does this mean?
Well, we want to hear about any ideas for projects you might have that would make a difference to young people and their mental health. We'll be selecting projects that we think have the potential for a big impact and we will help and support you to make them happen.
So what's Mental Health?
Mental Health is all about looking after your head. It sums up how well we can manage the day-to-day challenges that we face and how we cope with stress. If we have good mental health we can deal better with the people we meet everyday and feel good about ourselves. Lots of things can make us feel stressed, fed up or confused about who we are. Having good mental health doesn’t mean we’ll never face tough times but does mean we know how to get through them.
What do I need?
If you’re aged between 14 and 25 and you’ve got an idea for a project, you’re on your way. If you think your idea can help other young people and promote positive mental health, then we’d like to hear from you. Your project will need to be based in the Republic of Ireland or if you’re in Northern Ireland we can share it with our UK counterparts; Think Big UK, who manage the programme there.
