Introduction to Mental Health Literacy – Dragonfly Mental Health

There are many misconceptions about psychiatric disease, what causes it, who is at risk, and how it manifests. Increasingly we are understanding how immense a problem this is within academia. Objective mental health knowledge of the audience is assessed before and after the seminar and additional open ended questions are used to facilitate discussion and provide community specific insight on how to further improve mental health.

This session includes information about the prevalence of mental health illness in general and academic populations, an overview of signs and symptoms highlighting those seen in academic settings, and the science underlying the causes and treatments of mental illnesses. 

Please book via Eventbrite.
