Mental Wellness Action Plan

Help make a school play’s backstage team a little more supportive. Read the scenario, then plan a small, realistic mental wellness campaign. There is no need to share private feelings or experiences. If something in this activity worries you, speak with a trusted adult.

The situation

Layla, Matilda and Hamish are helping backstage for a school play. Rehearsals are busy, and some cast members feel nervous about forgetting lines or letting the team down. The friends want to share a practical message: everyone has tough days, and small actions and supportive people can help. They will not try to diagnose anyone or promise to fix every problem.

Notice and choose

Use the scenario to think about safe, everyday ways to support mental wellness.

1.Which detail in the scenario might make a cast member feel stressed, and what could they be worried about?

2.A cast member says, “I’m nervous I’ll forget my lines.” Which response is most supportive?

“That’s silly. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“It sounds like you’re feeling nervous. Would practising together help?”
“You should quit the play.”
“I’ll tell everyone you’re worried.”

3.Match each everyday action with the way it could support wellbeing.

Take a short, calm breathing pause
Practise a tricky scene with a buddy
Talk to a trusted adult when worry keeps getting in the way

Get support from someone who can help
Give the mind and body a moment to settle
Build confidence through preparation and teamwork

4.True or false: “If you feel worried, keep it secret and handle it all by yourself.” Explain your choice.

Build the action plan

A good campaign is kind, realistic and clear about when to ask an adult for help.

5.Choose one campaign focus for the play team: taking a reset break, encouraging kind check-ins, practising together, or talking to a trusted adult. Which would be most useful during a busy rehearsal week, and why?

6.Write a short, encouraging campaign message for the cast. Include one helpful action and avoid suggesting that one strategy works for everyone.

7.Choose a way to share the message (for example, a backstage reminder card or a brief announcement with adult approval). Who is it for, and what are two steps the team could take to prepare it?

8.The play opens on Friday. Suggest one reasonable deadline for preparing the campaign and one adult who could check that the message is safe and respectful.

9.Name one respectful way to find out whether the campaign was useful. Do not ask anyone to reveal private information.

10.If a cast member says their worry is not going away and is making it hard to cope, what is a safe next step?
