In commemoration of World Mental Health Day (October 10, 2025), Rec Room Wellness had the pleasure of visiting Triple Crown College, Ketu, Lagos, for a mental wellness outreach focused on “Recognizing and Talking About Emotions.”
The session brought together 214 students, aged 10–16, across six class groups, for an engaging and reflective conversation on emotional awareness.
Session Objectives
- Raise students’ awareness and understanding of emotions and their impact on mental health.
- Provide strategies for expressing emotions in a safe and respectful manner.
- Introduce practical coping techniques to support emotional well-being.
What We Shared
The conversation focused on understanding emotions — how they influence our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Students learned that emotions are not “good” or “bad” but signals that help us better understand our needs and experiences.
We explored healthy ways to express feelings, manage stress, and communicate emotions respectfully with others. Interactive activities and discussions made the session both educational and enjoyable.
Impact Highlights
- 85% of students said they now understand emotions better.
- 79% learned new ways to express emotions.
- 65% feel more confident talking about their feelings.
- 82% enjoyed the session and found it helpful.
Student Reflections
Favorite Part: “The games!”
New Learning: “Breathing exercises and how to express emotions.”
The students were open, thoughtful, and eager to learn. Many shared that they now feel better equipped to handle their emotions and support their friends when they’re struggling.
Looking Ahead
We’re deeply grateful to the staff and students of Triple Crown College for their warm welcome and enthusiasm. Emotional awareness is a vital foundation for mental health, and we’re proud to continue supporting schools in nurturing emotionally intelligent students.
