Re: Input for Mental Health Curriculum Project
@flumpsy: Good points. I especially like your point about combatting the issue of people and particularly boys bottling up their emotions, and how doing this may actually require a concerted effort to target the demographic being taught rather than settling for cheesy token BS at the problem.
I am a little unclear about your point about "giving people too many things that may be wrong with them". Are you more concerned about students being exposed to to many ideas of what mental health problems are out there, or is it more you are worried that some issues might be pathologized/taught as disorders when they are really more like tendencies? Or are you worried about students receiving actual diagnoses in class? Or none of the above?
