The stigma of mental health and mental illness can be deadly in market segments dominated by men. Historically, construction, maritime and manufacture are not perceived as work environmental where men can talk about their problems. As a consequence, men suffer in silence which affects their physical health and wellbeing. This is a global problem that impacts human performance, productivity and prosperity. The realization that male workers in traditional industries are just as fragile as other male workers in more stressful occupations such as finance and sales. This presentation only begins to focus on the issue but the impact can be catastrophic for the individual, the person's career, company, society, policy, and the economy.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a type cognitive therapy first used by Albert Ellis which focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral problems. The goal of the therapy is to change irrational beliefs to more rational ones.
REBT encourages a person to identify their general and irrational beliefs (e.g. I must be perfect") and subsequently persuades the person to challenge these false beliefs through reality testing.

The stigma surrounding mental health means students may be unwilling to disclose difficulties they are experiencing and access help. International students are particularly vulnerable as they are away from their usual support networks. Their limited English can also restrict their communication of any issues.
Australian ELICOS (English language teaching for international students sector) providers are aware that mental health issues can seriously impact a student as they progress through their studies. In a survey by English Australia, over 50 per cent of ELICOS colleges believed the number of students with mental health issues has increased in the past two years which is placing an increased strain on the already limited resources of many ELICOS providers.
English Australia released 'The Guide to Best Practice in International Student Mental Health'. This guide provides tools and information that will help create an environment where students feel supported should they ever have any mental health concerns.
In this presentation, Sophie O'Keefe explores the guide and discusses the mental health issues that international and ELICOS students experience, and shares best practice for addressing these concerns.
WE Charity's WE Well-being initiative is a proactive approach built on evidence-based prevention and promotion strategies, designed to build a foundation of awareness, understanding, and action. Developed in collaboration with leading mental-health professionals and with the support of our founding partner, the Erika Legacy Foundation, our goal is to achieve the following transformative outcomes: 1) the promotion of positive, inclusive, safe, and caring environments and relationships; 2) the reduction of stigma, the celebration of diversity, and the fostering of resiliency; 3) an increase in social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
We have been accomplishing this mission through accessible and inclusive programs that make mental well-being stigma-free and that reach millions of young people and families. We have translated the science of well-being into everyday action, providing clear pathways and resources through tools such as action-oriented curriculum in schools, professional learning for educators, youth and family workshops, mass-awareness campaigns, podcasts, and books.
We have leveraged our youth-centric platform to encourage young people to effect change and to act as leaders by promoting their own mental well-being and supporting the well-being of their schools, families, and communities. We have used WE Charity's network of millions of students, tens of thousands of schools and teachers, technology platforms, celebrity ambassadors, and stadium events with hundreds of thousands of participants to reach millions of more people with the tools and resources to make an impact.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

3. Starting with Young People: Key Elements
• Healthy Lifestyles promote positive health outcomes – these can be both
modeled and taught
• Young people spend considerable time attending institutions in which both
modeling of and education about healthy lifestyles can occur – MANDATE
• Life span period in which increasing responsibility and capacity for self-care
(to promote health and address disease) occurs is within the 10 – 15 years
post puberty
• Life span period in which the MAJORITY of all mental disorders can be
diagnosed – 70%; mild-moderate; early identification rapid access; quality
care; improved long and short term outcomes: POPULATION DIVIDEND

“a stronger predictor of an individual’s
health status than income, employment
status, education and racial or ethnic
group”. WHO; 2013
9. Mental Health Literacy: what is it EXACTLY?
• Understand how to obtain and maintain good mental health
• Understand and identify mental disorders and their treatments
• Decrease stigma
• Enhance help-seeking efficacy: know where to go; know when to go;
know what to expect when you get there; know how to increase
likelihood of “best available care” (skills and tools)

11. Developing the Mental Health Literacy Resource: Guiding
Principles
• Must be integrated easily into ALL existing school ecologies, pedagogically
familiar, resource sparing (fidelity of content not fidelity of application):
sustainable
• Must deliver scientifically established improvements in BOTH teacher and
student mental health literacy simultaneously
• Must build capacity: system strengthening, embedding competencies and
resource (not parachuting of programs): supports other MH activities
• Must support horizontal integration of mental health care across
education/health sectors – NOT STAND ALONE ACTIVITY
12. Our Approach to School Mental Health Literacy
Create a mental health literacy resource for teachers to use in the classroom
(the Guide)
Teach the teachers how to use the resource in the classroom: usual Pedagogy
Let the teachers teach their classes using the resource: Professionals
Evaluate how well BOTH teachers and the students improve their mental
health literacy because of this approach
This does not require FIDELITY of application, is not expensive, builds
capacity within the system, sustainable, geographically blind, can be
integrated into whatever else you want to do
What schools and teachers do – everywhere in the world: sustainable

• Creates a common knowledge base with familiarity and application of common
evidence based tools
• Clarifies and addresses internal access to care barriers (parental permission
example)
• Breaks down historical system silos (common consent form example)
• Improves access to care for those youth requiring specialty mental health services
(slight increase in referrals, substantial increase in “appropriate” referrals)

• Mental health literacy approach improves MEANINGFUL
outcomes for BOTH students and teachers simultaneously
• Linking MHL with “Go To Educator” approach facilitates “case”
identification and expedites appropriate referrals to CAMHS
• Inexpensive, relatively easy to apply; system strengthening;
system sustaining; cross-cutting integration based on NEEDS of
young people
• Provides a foundation for all aspects necessary to improve
mental health outcomes for young people
23. Next Steps: more research (collaborators welcome)
• Impact on the help-seeking efficacy of teachers and their families
• Impact on the HEALTH of teachers and students
• Impact on the MENTAL HEALTH of teachers and students
• Impact on the mental health literacy of teachers in the school who
did not receive training on the use of the resource (knowledge
diffusion)
• Impact on the school culture (school cohesion)
