Community Health Projects

Think about people you know in your community, such as friends, family members, neighbors, and other acquaintances, and consider the health issues that they may have experienced. Based on your personal observations, what health issues do you feel are prevalent in your local community? What health issue do you think is the most important, and how does it affect your community? Can you brainstorm any possible solutions to solve the problem? Also, take a moment to explore community mental health services. Explain why you think mental health services are important and why your community should have them.

Post your responses to these questions in the discussions area. Then, return to the topic several times over the next few days to read your coursemates' posts. Reply to at least two of them, making sure to ask questions and encourage further conversation.
