Statement of the problem
Until mental health education is a
mandatory aspect of all schools, teachers and administrators can work to
promote awareness with their students(Verhaeghe,2012). Key elements to
shine a light on include the concept of self-care and responsibility for
one's own mental health and wellness, with an emphasis on the fact that
mental health is an integral part of health, and the concept of
recovery from mental illness(Stallman,2010). Teachers and students
should be provided with ways to recognize signs of developing mental
health problems, and there should be opportunities around the awareness
and management of mental health crises, including the risk of suicide or
self-harm. Further, instruction should address the relationship between
mental health, substance abuse, and other negative coping behaviors, as
well as the negative impact of stigma and cultural attitudes toward
mental illness.
