Let's talk about mental health-
let's stop stigmatization
By Evelina Mahler and Paula Echevarria
The students of 4th year
have been working on
several aspects of an
integral mental health
project, asking their own
questions, proposing
hypothesis and making
both internet and field
research in order to find
answers and spread the
word.
The first step was to find out how
society, particularly our most intimate
circles of friends and family perceive
mental health. The students
conducted surveys, interviewing
between 80 and 100 participants, and
collecting statistically significant and
relevant data.
One conclusion of one of the groups:
"Adults and adolescents perceive
mental health and its disorders in a
very similar way. Although in some
questions there are differences, in the
majority we agree. So it might be the
time to start getting more
information about these types of
topics, since it would be nice to find
a way to a better society, one that is
Click fair for everyone."
