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 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

I've developed a course on Trauma Informed Care and it was hard not to make it too dark, even though the focus was on the benefits of creating a trauma informed environment. I ended up putting a disclaimer on the front screen saying that some images or topics could be challenging for some people.

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.
