Mental Health and Wellbeing Mental Health and Wellbeing

Defining ‘good’ mental health and ‘poor’ mental health

World Health Organisation World Health Organisation Mental health is the foundation for individual well-being and the effective functioning of a community. “Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” More than 450 million people suffer from mental disorders. Many more have mental problems. Mental health is an integral part of health; indeed, there is no health without mental health. Mental health is more than the absence of mental disorders. Mental health is determined by socio-economic, biological and environmental factors. Cost-effective intersectoral strategies and interventions exist to promote mental health.

Study Groups:The group will divide into 6 small groups = groups of 4Each group will select a ‘research topic’You will have the rest of the day to research your topic and prepare your presentationThis activity is primarily a learning exercise and your ‘presentation’ is an opportunity to share what you have learnedThe ‘presentations’ are not assessedIndividual Reviews will run in parallel to the study groups

Resources:The ‘library’ - books, journals, articles, leaflets and DVD’s are available in the Crypt. Articles and papers have also been posted on the Persona Website which you can access and print in the Training RoomThe staff team are available for advice etc (when not in review meetings)

Tuesday

The idea is to present and talk through your main findings, key points and key learning that has emerged for your group.

This is a primarily a data gathering exercise and your ‘presentation’ does not have to come to definitive conclusions. It will be useful to identify the questions that your research has brought out and the resources and references that you have found useful.

Each group will have a maximum of 30 minutes – which will include your presentation and time for any process/discussion.

THE PRESENTATIONS ARE NOT ASSESSED !
