Mental Health & Well-being Course

Changing minds changes behaviors, which is why this mental health training course focuses on encouraging you to question your beliefs, trust your instincts, and recognize red flags so that you'll be ready to take a proactive approach to mental health and wellness. In part one of the course, learners are invited to “unlearn” assumptions about illness, wellness, and the shame associated with negative stereotypes and discrimination. Key areas of instruction and investigation include exploring mental illness stigma, social and cultural biases, and the diversity of individual lived experiences relating to needing and getting help. In part two, learners get an opportunity to explore important strategies, scripts, sources, and self-care practices that will help them get the help they need and/or offer assistance and support to their friends, peers, and community.
