Kids get doodling to feel happier and healthier

Through a partnership with local secondary schools, East Dunbartonshire Council and local mental health charity East Dunbartonshire Association for Mental Health, first year school pupils were tasked with doodling away to their hearts content to celebrate ‘National Doodle Day’.

The event focused on ‘changing minds’ – looking at how positive mental health and well being are important in making minds happier and healthier.  First year pupils were asked to doodle about something they like to help their mind and body get healthy and happy. Each school chose a winner and the winners were put into a grand prize draw which was won by a pupil from Bearsden Academy.
