Mental Health and Wellness Journal


This course is designed for you to apply what you are learning to your own life. Part of being able to apply your knowledge is having opportunities to self-reflect on your experiences and feelings.

To maximize learning in this course, you will be periodically asked to keep a journal to capture your thoughts, feelings, and reflections about the concepts presented to you.

In the course, you will see this assignment icon that instructs you to make a new reflection in the course-led Mental Health and Wellness Journal. Please feel free to write extra thoughts that may not pertain to course-led reflections at the end of the document. All entries are to be submitted in Moodle and will only be shared if there are entries that need to be reported because of concerning material.

*Remember to be as descriptive and introspective as possible with all of your answers.
