Notas do Editor
- See lesson plan for activities to do before you start the PowerPoint presentation (e.g. setting the focus activity, attention activity, and the attitudes survey).
- Ask students, what is mental health? You can ask or refer back to previous discussion in the setting the focus activity about words they came up with.
- Explain that mental health falls along this continuum. We are all on this line somewhere, our place can change throughout our lifetime. Good mental health helps us face our daily activities, handle stress, bounce back when bad things happen. It leads to a positive self image and good relationships.

It’s better to risk losing a friendship than to risk losing a friend forever.

- Ask students to think about how people who live with chronic physical illnesses like arthritis and asthma can learn to manage their symptoms. Some days are easier than others to live with the illness. It is very similar for those living with mental illness.
- Explain that the best treatment approach is to have a combination of strategies that work best for the individual.
