Blog post #2 (Promoting mental health)

How can we promote mental wellbeing is my question that I will be researching for this project

My first round of research will be understanding the state of mental health which is researching common mental health problems and some of their main causes while also looking into why promoting mental well being is important.

My second round of research will be exploring effective strategies and programs such as investigating the existing ways mental wellbeing is promoted in school, workplaces, ex.. and the best ways it is promoted by reading case studies proving which way is most effective.

My third round of research will be eploring this question: “How can new mental health promotion strategies be designed for students, and where would they have the greatest impact?”

Some sources that will in the future be useful to me are

  5. https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/lifestyle-to-support-mental-health

This question will have implications for me and my community as mental health is not something we often talk about, and I want to inform others on how we can change that by researching ways on better doing this. I also want to spread awarness to others that struggling with your mental health is not a bad thing and that getting help is not seen as you failing or being week.

Thank you for reading my second blong post!

  1. Hello Parmis! I really enjoy and am intrigued by your keen interest in mental health. It’s great how you find it important to help others handle and understand their mental health issues, and bring awareness to them; It can be a very sensitive topic to discuss. A suggestion I have is to mention, explain and add examples of how you are going to spread the word and inform others of your findings. Ultimately, you did a great job in writing, organizing, and research. I will be looking forward to your upcoming research!

  2. Hi Parmis! I really like how you’ve structured your three rounds of research. Your topic is important, especially since, as you mentioned, mental health often isn’t talked about enough. I think your project will be interesting to read about, and I’m looking forward to more of your work.

  3. Hello!

    I think this topic is something important that definitely needs to be discussed more. I like the number of websites you have found in order to research further into this topic. In addition, I like the smaller subjects that you have decided to learn ore about regarding this big topic; I think it is well structured and thought about. One thing I might think about doing would be maybe focusing on a specific and common concern regarding mental health and well-being like anxiety or depression. Overall, this is a great concern and question.
