Mental Health Disorders Lesson
I developed this lesson for 9th grade students on the topic of mental health disorders, specifically focusing on generalized anxiety disorder and depression. I utilized a live polling service, called Poll Everywhere, to conduct a Myth vs. Fact pre-test. I followed this activity with information contained in my slides. After working through the slides, students participated in an adapted lesson they completed in groups. After the conclusion of the lesson, a Microsoft form was sent out to students to collect comprehension information and feedback related to the lesson. *Note: this site is faith based, therefore integration of spirituality within lessons is important. As you view this lesson, you will notice how it has been integrated with the topic!
Goals
Enhance student ability to define mental health and mental health disorder
Aid in students' abilities to identify ways to support individuals that exhibit warning signs
Provide information related to stigma and the ways in which it can impact treatment seeking
