Description
Teachers are often the first people who suspect mental illness in children. They work with children living with mental illness on a day-to-day basis. School-wide mental-health promotion requires an understanding of a whole-school-based response for nurturing mental health and resiliency for students and the school community. Issues related to physical and mental well-being, emotional literacy, and resilience are examined from a developmental perspective (early years, middle years, and senior years). This course promotes mental health, reduces the stigma associated with mental illness, and incorporates prevention and early intervention strategies in child and adolescent mental health.
