    exactly. schools prioritize giving more homework for "learning" rather than giving time for one's mental health, and it damages it even more because students have to constantly think about their activities that need to be done rather than focusing on their own selves at least once or twice a week.

    Well said! Yes to mental health, the brain, emotions - integration into school core curriculum!

      Better idea: Ask administration why they can't even comprehend half of the problems they expect people less than half of their age to.

    well spoken, and great delivery. i agree with what she said when she said that it's beneficial to write essays about how we feel. It helps us to understand it and even let negativity go. it's difficult for some people to discuss mental health because they are raised with low compassion or infrequent interaction, therefore being open minded and trying to understand people, even the really negative people, is important in battling the droves of declining mental and emotional positivity.

    well communicated. i'd like to have heard more in the way of ideas for integrating mental health into the classroom. i felt there was more to say about what's not happening rather than actionable ideas for change.

    100 percent agree. We need to teach these skills from a systematic program designed by experienced individals in this area. Experience is either earned through learning or lived life experiences.

    I am an occupational therapist by trade. I truly believe OT practitioners can be part of the solution here. The thing is- many people in the general public don't know that occupational therapy practitioners have trainings in mental health, as well as having mental health as part of their education.

      Tell me more. I assumed OT was in nursing facilities, private venue. I like the idea because it supports students without saying they have MH issues.

    So I see the video is a year old. It sucks to hear someone say that schools still don't hardly teach us about mental health. I also think it's crucial that schools teach what verbal and mental abuse is. Are there any statewide or nationwide requriements for classroom teaching about mental health? What can we do to make it a requriement? Petition some legislators who we think are likely to agree??

    As I Jr. High student I don't know if I can say much but the system is all wrong cause I never actually feel like I'm learning I always just feel like I'm remembering stuff just to forget it for the next important set of information. I have literally learned more from some kids shows than school and learning always felt fun as a kid and once it's a job it stopped becoming what I wanted to do in sparetime.

    Brain surgeons cannot even say how the brain works with any level of certainty. Expecting classroom teachers to have any level of success in the outcome of a student with a neurological disorder is a tall order to say the least. It will take the APA to start diagnosing minors with serious disorders (such as personality disorders) instead of protecting their feelings until they are 18 to 21 years old. By then, much damage could have already been done. Not telling someone what their true diagnosis is, (imho) doesn't help or cure anyone.
    Thanks for the video

      I think they could teach about mental health period . Instead of just going to a Counseler they should all talk about it . They will see they are more alike than they are different.

    • @jared8783
      @jared8783 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't have to diagnose neurological disorders to teach about things like depression, anxiety, stress, happiness, jealousy, etc. In public schools I remember being taught about many diseases that my teacher was not diagnosing in anyone. Such as lung cancer.

      ​@@jared8783 If a student has a mental disorder, such as sociopathy or psychopathy, would it benefit them to know it when they are 14, or should they simply continue under the impression that they are "autistic"? Many times, young students are diagnosed as autistic or having "oppositional defiance disorder" only to find out later that they are schizophrenic, or bipolar. I say, the sooner they know who they are, the better.

    Sorry that has been your experience but School Counselors are typically not viewed as scary, I have never heard of that and ALL students have access to us and we do way more than you know, obviously--this was a good idea overall but not totally accurate with most schools.

    • @139G20
      @139G20 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, personally I think my school counselors are dumber than me in analyzing complex mental health issues and the way they respond to it is like all the general stuff everyone knows being repeated, they break the basic rules of handling people with depression and anxiety, I don't trust them one bit to counsel, incompetent and has no passion is what I think of them
