Mental Health Seminar

Mental Health Seminar (40%] The purpose of this assignment is to provide an opportunity for students to explore mental health implications for a priority population. Consider how we can apply what we have learned in this course to provide strengths-based, recovery-oriented nursing care. In some cases, people considered under the umbrella of priority populations face higher risk of mental health problems and illness due to work environments, their age and stage of development or a disproportionate fear of stigma and negative attitudes. A priority population are those who are at risk for health inequities or have been subject to social exclusion, stigma, discrimination, and social injustice. Consider race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, poverty, housing, and other determinants of health. Notice the impact of intersectionality. For some of you, this will be new information and for others it will be opportunity to build on what you already know. Yet for others, you may understand deeply based on your lived experiences. I ask that as a group, we hold space for each other as we explore these issues.
