Today in my research of we-virtual learning I stumbled across something that peculiarly caught my attention. It was a program that Introduces students to the concept of mental health literacy explored how mental health literacy plays a role in our well-being. We can share knowledge and curiosity through discussion and collaboration with others to understand the daily struggles that most go through without ever understanding colleagues or students’ lived events.

How do we investigate to learn? the study I’m going to share was a lesson that targets a high school classroom with students in grades from 9-12. the program starts by letting the class know that they’ll be talking about mental health and the concept of mental health. An overall understanding of mental health, why it’s important, factors that can promote mental health,
and factors that can lead to mental health problems or social disorders.

Why do you personally think mental health literacy is important? Collectively, this research study has come up with a few ways to practice mental health literacy. the one that stuck out was based on students’ responses. this will be a yearly progress chart to Keep the chart paper in plain view to reference as a class throughout the year and remind students of the ways they have identified to practice mental health literacy throughout the year.

Over the years I have grown close with many teachers and professors that had made a major impact on my life and my character as an adult. The majority of skills a student will learn will be in high school. After spending years of our lives in a classroom I believe that mental health literacy should be a social experiment introduced in a classroom setting. I believe that this could make a difference as a whole if teachers and students both collectively practice well-being for a greater understanding. Thank you, I hope you enjoyed the read.
