This course provides an in-depth exploration of mental health and well-being through a blend of theoretical and practical approaches. The earlier part of the course will examine the theoretical foundations of mental health and well-being through different disciplinary lenses and points-of-view. Students will learn about the psychosocial contributors to mental health, the intersection between mental health, and well-being, and what it means to practice resiliency in this context. The course will introduce practical coping strategies which help foster resilience, as well as the complexities of compassion fatigue, burnout, and the importance of self-care practices in personal and clinical contexts.
