Schools can do this through mental education courses to teach about the reality of mental illness, address misconceptions that lead to stigma, and empower students struggling with mental illness. ]]> 2018-08-16 19:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273582206 kkrahn2 https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273584860 2018-08-16 19:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273584860 kkrahn2 https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273586143 2018-08-16 19:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273586143 kkrahn2 https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273586529 - 1 in every 5 children ages 13-18 have or will have a serious mental illness
- 50 percent of students age 14/older with a mental illness drop out of high school
-According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, people with a mood or anxiety disorder are more than twice as likely to develop an addiction to opioids and other drugs.
-According to the CDC, the suicide rate among boys ages 15 to 19 increased by nearly a third between 2007 and 2015; the suicide rate among girls the same age more than doubled. ]]> 2018-08-16 19:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273586529 kkrahn2 https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273587693 - "Participants who indicated that they believed in stereotypes of dangerousness and believed that SMI defines an individual's identity were more likely to express desire for both social distance and restrictions." -- people suffering from mental illness feel silenced by the stigma: they don't want to be defined by their illness or be marginalized because of it; therefore, they are less likely to seek help
- need to teach about the reality of mental illness; kids (and teachers) need to realize and learn that mental illness is the result of biology - it is no one's fault, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it does not define a person's identity, but it is real. 
- teach about symptoms and warning signs to help kids and teachers identify signs in themselves and others
- address misconceptions: mentally ill people are violent, mentally ill people are weak, mental illness is a character flaw/choice, mentally ill people are unintelligent, treattment is not possible, mental illness makes a person crazy; this is especially important for those who don't have mental illness because misconceptions often contribute to labels and stigmas that will prevent students who need help from being honest about it; misconceptions often lead to shame and silence
- empower students to seek help: make it possible for them to see a psychologist or counselor; students struggling with mental illness & give them hope for improvement; when students realize that not only is help available, but people actually want to help them, they are more likely to reach out and get help]]> 2018-08-16 19:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273587693 kkrahn2 https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273588700 2018-08-16 19:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273588700 kkrahn2 https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273590099 2018-08-16 19:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273590099 kkrahn2 https://padlet.com/kkrahn2/r8dvp2stvhb8/wish/273753564 - finding teachers that are certified/willing to teach the classes
