    Introduction




    Welcome to the Mental Health Literacy course for educators. This course is designed primarily for educators: preservice teachers in faculties of education, educators in schools, including classroom teachers, administrators, and other specialized roles such as counselors, psychologists, and learning support teachers, as well as for others interested in developing their mental health literacy. Even if you are not a teacher or are not teaching at this time, this course is relevant to you and your family's well-being.

    This course is designed for anyone with an interest in learning more about mental health.

    Developed by education and mental health professionals, this seven-module (8 to 10 hours) course will give you a foundation of mental health literacy, including effective strategies to use in your educational settings and in your own life.

    The course takes 8-10 hours, includes 7 lessons and quizzes, and there is a certificate for completion.

    We sincerely hope that this course will deepen your interest in, and encourage your critical thinking about, mental health.

    Enjoy the learning!
