Practical activities for young people on the topics of depression and overweight

At the youth center “Mazgas” practical activities took place in the months of January – February – research aimed at the prevention of depression, suicides and self-harm “Mazgo mazgas”. When the young people came to the center, they tied a ribbon of the chosen color to the braided rope. Red color – I feel very good, yellow – good, blue – bad, purple – very bad. After entwining the rope – the decoration that decorated the youth center Mazgas, a study about emotions was prepared and presented according to the colors at the youth center. It is good that the most chosen colors are red and yellow, and young people who chose purple or blue were offered individual talks.

In February, the youth center Mazgas also held classes for the prevention of health disorders related to overweight and obesity. Young people were interested in how excess weight affects cardiovascular diseases, what are the benefits of physical activity, how alcohol consumption and smoking affect the heart.
