The purpose of this course is to develop a foundational and working knowledge of mental health literacy, strategies, and perspectives that apply to everyday life and interactions with others. Students will explore mental health through a philosophical, theoretical, and psychological lens, developing the foundations for heuristic self-inquiry. Current trends and issues within the discipline will be explored, as well as literature relevant to the historical, cultural, epistemological, and phenomenological foundations of mental health. Transformative inquiry is a methodological lens through which research will be approached in this course. Students will use transformational knowledge beyond the scope of a research project to create a practical resource package that could be used as a personal or professional development tool on the topic of mental health and wellbeing. A conceptual framework called the Human Curriculum will guide students through relevant perspectives, research, and curiosities around the topic of mental health and wellbeing.

Prerequisite(s): Permission of the College of Education Graduate Chair or Associate Dean Research.
Restriction(s): Course open to students in the College of Education.
