Welcome to Psych Awareness
CONTEXT OF THE WEBSITE:
The aim of this website is to promote awareness of psychology. We would like young people to become more aware of the benefits of psychology.Psychology is not a "dark" mystical art. Psychology is another tool to empower yourself to be all that you can be!
This site is aimed at young people and supports them through the most amazing but also a very difficult time in their lives. Information always provides options and new ways of thinking. Please explore this as a site of ideas and opinions- not proven academically material.
Anyone is welcome to contribute and if there are any academics that would like to contribute please let us hear from you. If you are a professional in the field of psychology you are welcome to advertise your services for free by providing us with information!
This is not a counselling website - we do not provide counselling on this site. Under the helplines link there are emergency numbers you may contact or you may contact us during office hours.
SAY WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART?
This is a website with a different angle! We take a stance of not knowing...weird hey? I don't know what young people want to know about. This is going to be a website for young people, by young people. Say what you want to say so that everyone may understand!
Do you for instance know what other young people think about the future? Do you know what girls or boys think is important in a relationship? How do you cope with all the drugs in the area where you live? What happens to you emotionally, how do you feel when teachers or parents scream at you? If you tell your parents you hate them....do you actually mean you want a hug? What don't adults understand? What about sex... are we allowed to discuss it?
The idea is that we try and get answers and questions from each other. The internet gives us the opportunity to ask questions and make statements in anonymity. So you can explain to others how you feel without them knowing it is you. However this can not be done while hurting other people. If you use peoples names or contact particulars you will be banned from the site. The person that you harmed might even prosecute you.
I assume that we can not really understand another person unless we make an effort to listen. Everyday I try to live without judging others, to be honest - I don't always succeed but it is worth trying. How do I know what is best for the other person, sometimes I don't even know what is best for me!
Please mail me and tell me what you think and list a couple of topics that you feel is relevant. Oh- and tell others about the website that is trying to understand!
