Mental Health Test

Health Classes! We have our Mental Health Test on Tuesday (for A-day) and Wednesday for B-day. I will not post a review but if you study your notes you should do well on the test. I won't try to trick you, it will be very straight forward. The test will include a variety of multiple choice, true/false, matching, and some short answer. Please make sure know the following: -Maslow's Pyramid of needs and an example of each level. -7 Defense mechanisms -emotions: are some good and some bad or is it our reaction that is good or bad? -Mental illnesses: we did a blue worksheet and you need to know the definition, causes, signs and symptoms and any treatments. -we will have about 15-20 minutes to review at the beginning of class. --Good Luck! Email me with any questions.

We are in the middle of our Mental Health Unit. We had a school counselor come speak to us about stress and how to manage that in our lives. We will be having a school counselor come again and discuss depression/suicide. The counselor does a great job of discussing it and really helping adults and teenagers understand many different aspects of it. We will continue next week talking about emotions, grief/loss, and mental disorders. Please make sure to check Skyward as it should be up to date!

Time Line assignment: 1. Cut a piece of paper in half lengthwise. 2. On the back of one of them write “past accomplishments”, on the other write “future goals”. List anything you can think of. You must have A MINIMUM of 3 past accomplishments. You must have a MINIMUM of 6 future goals. You must have at least 1 of each (mental, physical, and social). 3. Tape the two ends together on the back side. On the front number the lines 1 through 70. FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT YOU CANNOT DIE BEFORE YOU ARE 70! Make 2 lines, label one “personal” and the other “educational/career”. 4. Now fill in your timeline with the items you wrote down. You can also add any others you may think of as you go. (e.g. kids, moving, etc…). Use colored pencils for things that last years, and make an individual mark for a single accomplishment.
