Western Mental Health
Author: Patrice Thompson
Planning Unit: Jefferson County CES
Major Program: Health
Plan of Work: Making Proactive Choices For A Healthier Life
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Planning for the "Your Thoughts Matter" program that is being presented to my 4-H club at western, I decided to get a bit more virtually creative in the ending project details. "Your Thoughts Matter" is a program that introduces the participants to what mental health entails and how they can become better citizens by gaining a clear understanding then putting their understanding to use. At the end of 4-H programs the club has to decide on a project that will impact their schools or community. Being that we are not meeting physically right now, I thought it would be interesting to have the club members "interview" a therapist about the mental health field. I was able to successfully recruit one therapist to facilitate a workshop towards the end of our program and agree to be "interviewed". Being that mental health awareness has been on the rise, especially within our student populations, I am confident that this program will be beneficial in educating and empowering the students at Western Middle School.
