Project Objectives:
To ensure the mental health well-being of individuals who are under various mental health risks, socio-economically disadvantaged or have limited access to mental health services.
This project will include activities aimed at four fundamental components of Mental Health Literacy to achieve our goals.
1) Protection Awareness:
Characteristics, to whether he or she is aware of his or her goals in life, his or her awareness of his or her potential, and the quality of his or her relationships with other people. Shortly, it is an effort to provide the continuation of the person’s well-being regarding the protection of mental health.
2) Recognition:
Recognition can be broken down into symptom or illness recognition. Symptom recognition is the ability to detect beliefs, behaviors, and other physical manifestations of mental illness, without knowing explicitly which disorder they link to. Specific illness recognition is the ability to identify the presentation of a disorder, such as “major depressive disorder”
3) Knowledge:
Knowledge is the largest component of mental health literacy and important topics in Mental Health include the following:
- How to take informations
- Risk Factor
- Reason of mental health
- Self-treatment / Self-helping
- Professional Support
4) Attitudes:
Attitudes are divided into two components: Attitudes towards mental disorders or people with mental disorders, and Attitudes towards seeking professional help or treatment.
