An increasing number of students in schools and universities are experiencing mental health problems. The act of learning can be extremely positive for students' mental well-being, but it can also exacerbate or even cause mental health difficulties.
Although there have been calls to action on mental health globally, there is little guidance in this area. In this microcredential, you will learn how to integrate mental wellness into your teaching. You will discover how to apply inclusive teaching strategies and learn to design appropriate learning activities that promote the mental health of students.
The World Health Organization reported that 10 to 20% of children worldwide experience mental disorders and that half of all mental illnesses begin by the age of 14. Although 98% of the teachers surveyed had come into contact with students experiencing mental health problems, only 46% received mental health training. Help young people build resilience in the modern world and get the training you need to support mental health in your classroom. This micro-credential meets the standards established by the Common Micro-Credential Framework.
