World Mental Health Day

Posted on the Mental Health in Higher Education (mhhe) list by Jill Anderson:

Making Mental Health a
Global Priority

This year’s theme is ‘Advocacy for global mental health: scaling up services through citizen advocacy and action'.

It's an opportunity to think about how our teaching addresses these issues and concerns.

How might you involve learners in World Mental Health Day 2009? Now is the time to get planning for next year!

See below for how one educator went about it:
