عن المقرر

During the last few years, mental health started to be an essential topic. Mental Health is not discussed only in theory or as a luxury but rather as a necessity to thrive and pursue meaning and purpose in life. Saying so, we usually connect Mental Health to individuals but in this course, we will highlight a collective sense of Mental Health, Community Mental Health, and Well-Being. We will discuss both theories and practice. In this course, we will be discussing different aspects of community psychology. We will learn about the methods of creating conditions that are empowering , rather than encouraging dependence. We will be discussing scientific-based programming where we can analyze how community well-being is tackled , enhanced, or even harmed. From the lens of the community of practice, we will critique the impact of different programs and policies. Finally, we will discuss how can we nurture the notion of community mental health both from a practical lens and also from an analytical lens.
