Class 2.1 - Getting into Groups

EMPATHY
During class I narrowed my topic down to self understanding, focusing on mental health in youths. This meant I was put into a sub-group of mental health with most people focusing on stress, depression and anxiety. Initially I thought I might have been better is another group as most of the discussion we had was based around student mental health issues at uni and creating a balanced lifestyle.

EMPATHY  I  DEFINE
I was getting quite stressed out because I had a group meeting for another class straight after this one and we were running overtime with still not splitting up into smaller groups. Fortunately, one of the other girls that wasn't really involved as much (her name was coincidentally also Emma) in the main discussion said that her topic was on similar lines to my one as a larger theme but was more focused on depression and small ways to improve the symptoms of depression in day to day life. Once me and Emma split off we briefly talked about our topic and it seemed as though we were on the same page. To keep our options broad we decided that mental health as a whole would be better to focus on relating to self understanding. We also agreed that youths would be a good target audience.
