Some concepts in my mental health literacy course talk about helping (specifically “how to talk and offer help”) your friends/loved ones who live with a mental health disorder or who might need a push to go get professional help.

As adults, we all have learned by experience how to talk to someone when they are feeling low and do not want to talk to anyone else. My students need to hold on to these past learnings/experiences and just use the right vocabulary or assess the situation properly before they go ahead and use their soft skills to talk to a loved one. Combining prior life skills/knowledge with the knowledge gained in this course will help them in applying these concepts/learnings in real life.
