Activity 1

Tavera, Ma.Edanialyn
INSTRUCTIONS: Discuss and explain the following statement in the correct
concepts and principles.
1. In the article entitled WHO highlights urgent need to transform mental health and
mental health care discuss the 3 paths to transformation that focus on shifting attitudes
to mental health, addressing risks to mental health and strengthening systems of care
for mental health.
Answer: 1. Deepen the value and commitment we give to mental health. Mental health
devotion is a sometimes essential step taken in the best interests of the patient,
primarily to ensure their safety and well-being during periods of emotional distress, as
well as to offer effective examination and treatment of mental illness. In order to counter
stigma and prejudice, minimize inequities, and promote social justice, persons with
mental health issues must be included in all parts of society and decision-making. 2.
Reshape environments that influence mental health, including homes, communities,
schools, workplaces, health care services, natural environments. It makes reasonable to
examine how your surroundings impacts your mental health. But, with so many
variables at play, you may be wondering which ones to prioritize in order to enhance
your mental health. This should be accomplished through community-based mental
health treatment, which is more accessible and acceptable than institutional care, aids
in the prevention of human rights abuses, and provides better recovery results for those
suffering from mental illnesses and also facilitating supportive care for child
development, providing vocational assistance to those with mental health disorders, and
establishing social and emotional education programs 3. Strengthen mental health care
by changing where, how, and by whom mental health care is delivered and received.
Strong mental health is more than the presence of mental illnesses. Being mentally or
emotionally well entails far more than the existence of sadness, anxiety, or other
psychological problems. Mental health, instead of the absence of mental disease, refers
to the presence of good attributes. Creating community-based networks of
interconnected services that move away from custodial care in psychiatric hospitals and
cover a spectrum of care and support through a combination of integrated mental health

services in general health care, community mental health services, and services outside
the health sector.
2. If you are mental health advocate, what you can do to promote the Agenda?
Discuss and explain.
As a mental health advocate, I am going to use social media platforms to promote the
agenda, nowadays most of the students are using cellphones regularly, to contact and
communicate with one another using social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter,
Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram. While each has advantages, it's crucial to
remember that social media can never replace face-to-face human interaction. It takes
face-to-face interaction with others to activate the hormones that reduce stress and help
you feel happier, healthier, and more optimistic. Thus, it will help to spread the agenda
worldwide.
3. What are the things have learned in this article? Discuss
- It is very important to engage ourselves in implementing new strategies and plans in
order to establish and reshape mental health awareness. Even if new technology
increase engagement and integration, they are insufficient. To enhance population
health, innovations must also demonstrate the quality of treatment by evaluating
outcomes and iteratively improving care as part of a learning health care system. The
move to health provides an extraordinary chance to gather results and learn iteratively,
but few health practitioners have fully utilized current data science.
Thank you and God bless!
