Prior Knowledge)<br />
Instructions:<br />
1. Distribute the Student Resource (Survey Worksheet). Have students complete a selfsurvey<br />
on well-being and give them the option of calculating the scoring section of<br />
the survey.<br />
2. After students have completed the survey, lead a class discussion on their findings,<br />
concerns, questions, etc. Ask students to describe what they believe constitutes a<br />
mentally healthy person.<br />
3. Build a list of characteristics of a mentally healthy person from the studentsÕ<br />
descriptions. Compare the list to the definition (see Teacher Resource- Overhead).<br />
4. Provide an overview of MaslowÕs Hierarchy of Needs for students.<br />
People who are mentally healthyÉexperience stress, frustrations, feelings of selfdoubt,<br />
failure, and rejection. What distinguishes the mentally healthy from someone who<br />
is not mentally healthy is their resilience. Resilience is a personÕs ability to recapture<br />
their sense of emotional wellness within a reasonable time using a variety of coping<br />
strategies. (An example of resilience Ð If your partner breaks up with you, are you able to<br />
overcome this emotionally and eventually start seeing other people?)<br />
Characteristics (of a Mentally <strong>Healthy</strong> Person):<br />
• hopefulness about opportunities and lifeÕs challenges<br />
• persistent in achieving oneÕs goals<br />
• practical/realistic about goals as well as their strengths and weaknesses<br />
• responsible for own personal behaviour<br />
• respect own needs and the needs of others<br />
• healthy self-esteem / positive self-concept<br />
• healthy self-confidence<br />
• ability to manage stress effectively<br />
• ability to work productively<br />
• support network (family, friends, mentors)<br />
• healthy attitude towards lifeÕs problems and difficulties<br />
