Stacking rings – Mental health risk and resilience

Stacking rings – Mental health risk and resilience

by | Jun 17, 2020 | Health & Wellbeing, Sciences, Senior Phase

A stacking rings activity to stimulate conversation around risk & resilience.

Our stacking rings activity was inspired by Dr Jehannine Austin’s jar analogy.
We are born with a certain amount of genetic vulnerability (yellow balls), but over time, we also accumulate stressful experiences (orange triangles), which can tip us over into an active episode of mental ill-health (full jar).
Protective factors such as exercise and good sleep add ‘rings’ to the top of our mental health jar, and expand its capacity.

A card-swiping computer game to explore the complexities of Big Data research. 

The premise of the game:

  • You are the researcher in charge of a Big Data project.
  • You need to keep Knowledge, Ethics, Money and People in balance (the symbols at the top of the game screen)
  • Make decisions by swiping each card (scenario) left or right (yes or no), but be warned, every decision has consequences.
  • Have you got what it takes to keep the world of big data in balance?
  • Tip: Gently the tip the card to read the possible answers
