Description

Mental health is an increasingly important topic in today's society. Research shows that 1 in every 5 adults will be diagnosed with a mental health disorder during their lifetime. This number will only continue to increase unless we educate younger generations on what these illnesses look like and how to take care of ourselves. This project overviews the mental health literacy of 160 college students, where they have learned this information, how accurate it is, and how K-12 education discusses mental health in the classroom.
