This course invites students to engage in meaningful discussions, dialogue, and student-led presentations while participating in hands-on, experiential activities. Together, we will explore the concept of mental hygiene—how it is developed, maintained, disrupted, and restored. Throughout the semester, we will examine the many factors that influence mental well-being, including personal belief systems, interpersonal relationships, aging, death, stress, depression, addictions, ethnicity, race, and gender. By the end of this course, students will gain a deeper understanding of mental hygiene and acquire practical tools for fostering mental wellness in their own lives and communities.
You will review the weekly PowerPoints, complete necessary assignments, and comment in the forums.
