For Creative Conscience’s Mental Health brief, I created a zine aimed at 10-16 year olds who are currently preparing for exams, or currently taking them. Due to the change in grading of GCSEs in 2017, a massive peak in stress levels are seen in students of this age; as well as a noticeable lacking of mental health services provided in schools. My zine gives students of this age small tasks and advice to assist them in dealing with their stress, as well as reminders that it isn’t shameful to ask for help, and to always put their health first.
