Mental Health Awareness

Hi, has anyone developed a course on mental health without making it too dark or depressing.

  • Hi Paula, I developed a course called "How to Talk to Your Child about Anxiety." It is a free course put out by ROCK - Reach Out Centre for Kids". You can find it here: https://rockonlearn.ca/all-courses/  It may not be what you are looking for but it certainly not depressing. :-)

    Hi;

    Yes, I have. I have designed over 200 courses on the subject of mental health. Feel free to be in touch. I'm happy to help.

      Hi Ilanna, I'm interested in anything to do with positive psychology and cognitive behavoural psychology.... do you have anything in those areas?

    Hi Paula;

    Sure I can. Is it a general course, or does it focus on a specific aspect of MHA?

        Hi Paula,

        Are you able to share some examples of your general mental health course? 

        Many thanks

        Michael

  • Hard to advise without knowing more about your intentions for the course, but one way to avoid "too depressing" territory is to not limit the course to psychological problems ("abnormal psychology") but to also include the research around happiness ("positive psychology"). Both are aspects of mental health, so don't leave out the positive.

    Cheers!

  • Is this request still current?

    I have one in Storyline 2.  Quite basic, and you'd have to rebrand and edit local links etc.
