Teachers Resource Guide for Virtual Classroom

Download

TeenMentalHealth.org and TakingIt Global partnered to develop a set of mental health online resources available to teachers free of charge.

The combination of mental health education and technology in the classroom places teachers on the cutting edge by engaging students in a vital topic to help maintain their health through a medium that will engage their interest. This in turn helps students challenge assumptions around mental health and mental illness, combat stigma, manage stress, and be aware of warning signs that may indicate a mental health problem for themselves or their peers. It will also help students in their development of 21st century communication and computer literacy skills.

The thematic classroom is designed to act as a supplement to the Mental Health and High School Curriculum. This high school curriculum focuses on training teachers to be comfortable with their own knowledge of mental health, then empowers the teachers to share this knowledge with their students through a multiple module program. The program uses a variety of interactive sessions that help to promote dialogue among students, as well as with their teachers. 

If teachers are looking to enhance these materials, provide homework assignments, or would like to do stand-alone activities regarding a specific area of interest, the Mental Health Thematic Classroom contains a set of four modules with a total of twenty comprehensive activities that can be tailored to suit the particular needs of each individual classroom, and connects to two fun and educational online games. It also includes additional resources in the files and bookmarks section of the classroom for both teachers and students to explore in order to extend the learning even further.

The technology involved in the classroom set-up is designed to be quick and straightforward for teachers. In order to further support the development of your customizable classroom, virtual office hours, frequently asked questions, and a demo classroom are provided, in addition to an informative teacher’s guide which can be downloaded here.

Have You Lost Someone To Suicide?

Suicide attempts remain the second largest category for injury-related hospitalizations. Some of these attempts unfortunately result in death. After the death of her son, Carol Cashen was inspired to combine her findings into a resource guide that could be readily accessible to parents that were faced with a similar loss.

The “Support After Youth Suicide” support booklet was developed to provide a much needed resource for families and friends who were seeking support following a youth suicide. It provides some basic, yet helpful, information about suicide, grief, depression, stigma and how to support a person who has lost a loved one. The information provided gives the reader some information about what to expect and how to cope in a healthy manner, but acknowledges that this process is different for everyone.

This version of the booklet has been customized with information that relates to some of the resources available in the Halifax Regional Municipality. If you want to make a version specific to your community, please contact us, as we are eager and open to producing numerous versions of this booklet, each reflective of community resources across Canada.

But, we all want to make sure that the best available information on treatment and care is being used by the health provider for our benefit.  Evidence Based Medicine helps patients receive treatment that is right for them by finding a balance between scientific evidence, patient values and the experience of the health care provider.

The patient version of this guide uses easy to understand language to explain how science is used to provide information on medical treatment and care. It also gives practical suggestions on how help you talk with your health care provider so that you can help make sure that the best knowledge from research is being used to direct your treatment.

Outil d’évaluation du risque suicidaire chez l’adolescent (TASR-A) (French)

Download

Le TASR-A a été développé pour aider à évaluer cliniquement le risque suicidaire immédiat chez les jeunes gens. Il a été conçu par des cliniciens experts dans l’évaluation du suicide chez les adolescents et dans le développement et l’utilisation de différentes échelles et outils, en pratique clinique, dans la recherche ou en milieu institutionnel. Le TASR-A n’est pas un outil de diagnostic, puisque le suicide est un comportement et non un diagnostic médical. Le TASR-A n’est pas non plus un outil de prédiction car aucun outil ne peut prédire un suicide. Le TASR-A est plutôt un modèle semi-structuré que le clinicien peut suivre pour s’assurer que les facteurs de risque connus les plus courants ont été évalués.

The TASR-A is also not a predictive tool since there is no tool that can be demonstrated to predict suicide. Rather, the TASR-A is a semi-structured instrument that the clinician can follow to ensure that the most common risk factors known to be associated with suicide in young people have been assessed.
