What would you do if you felt anxious(焦虑的)? Would you feel better if other people could share their e1. with you? In the United States, two teenage girls came up with the idea of s2. up a mental health camp called “Healing(治愈) Hearts” to help people what to d3. with anxiety.
The idea of creating the camp came from Dinah Martinez, 17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez, 18. B4. girls suffered from anxiety.
Dinah Martinez always did well in school. “But then I just started to collapse(崩溃),” Dinah Martinez said. She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and stayed at home.
Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even w5. in junior high. “It was a lot of pressure(压力) I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing.”she said.
The girls’ camp idea got s6. from Girls Leading Our World(GLOW) in the US. The organization awarded them $5, 000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls.
The “Healing Hearts” camp was created to “help deal with anxiety, e7. with girls in high school because that’s when they are the most vulnerable(脆弱的),” Janet Martinez said.
On the first day of the camp, 10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to c8. themselves down when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods l9. deep breathing and guided mediation(调节).
“It’s good to know that someone else is going through the same thing a10. me and we can both help each other out.” Dinah Martinez said.
