Teaching Through Books: Mental Health
By Derek Acorn, Renée Shah Singh, and Jonelle St. Aubyn
Part of the Teaching Through Books series, this lesson discusses mental health. Stigma around mental health continues to prevent those who are trying to cope from getting the help that they need. In addition, there are many barriers to accessing services that deal with mental health issues. Identifying mental health issues and having knowledge of resources and supports can help address this serious and growing problem among young people today. This lesson plan utilizes a collection of featured books to explore the topic. It is also divided into three sections suitable for primary, middle, and high school.
