How's It Growing? A Mental Health Tool

I am a cactus. Mental health can feel like a really complicated topic. It can be hard to understand our emotions and what is are normal for us and what we need support with. I recently discovered a great tool for doing some brief self-assessment and learning some strategies to help maintain or develop wellness. It's called How's It Growing? and it is a tool for young people developed by Mind Your Mind, the Government of Canada, and Canada Service Corps. The tool takes you through a brief quiz and then tells you what kind of plant you are. It then provides some insights into what you need to grow well as a plant and what you can do to support your own growth. Check it out and let me know what kind of plant you are! https://mindyourmind.ca/apps/HowsItGrowing/en/index.html?fbclid=IwAR30AcEblc0UlTcrk5xcwNjf6FMB_rNsE-IyG7yfPj2xuN5PX4f-RxlVDNE
