For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the
attention it deserves Mental health. I
chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of
death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my
area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that “
that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific
agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right
now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are
really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that
will lead to reform.
According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry:
1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change.
2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society.
3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur.
4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience.
Research Problem Statement
My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm
and the traumatic impact of mental illness. By promoting resilience, the enhancement of community resources, conflict resolution and support for
individuals, families and the communities of those who suffer with mental disorders, illness or have a sudden mental health crisis. The target
population includes all individuals within Chatham County, with unmet mental health needs. These individuals are currently not being served by
traditional methods due to financial, structural, and personal barriers including access and stigma. Untreated mental health issues of these
individuals put them at risk for exacerbation of physical health problems, suicide attempts, premature moves to long-term care se.

The document contrasts counseling psychology with clinical psychology, noting counseling psychology's emphasis on growth, prevention, and brief interventions. It also outlines the roles, functions, and training of counseling psychologists.
Human rights and social work
1. Human rights are fundamental to the social work profession as social workers aim to help people meet basic needs and enhance well-being.
2. Social work promotes social change, empowerment, and social justice based on principles of human rights.
3. Understanding human rights helps social workers navigate ethical dilemmas and advocate for vulnerable groups while operating within different political systems.
Week 5 final project
This document discusses three mental health disciplines - the American Counseling Association, National Association of Social Workers, and International Association of Counselors and Therapists. It then provides expert opinions on the roles of social workers and therapists/counselors in a community setting. The expert views social work and counseling/therapy as excellent career options for community psychological work. Social workers can benefit from the NASW to share treatment methods between cultures. The IACT also allows therapists and counselors to network internationally and learn about treating different cultures.

Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill YouthTh.docx
Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth
The topic selected for the research question is Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth. Stigma against mentally ill youths is prevalent in our society today. The problem of stigma against the mentally ill teenagers is that it could hinder them from accessing the medical help that they need. It is wrong to discriminate mentally ill youths, and this stigma should be avoided. The community should see the person rather than looking at the mental condition. Stigma and discrimination of people with mental illness is a prevalent problem in the society today. Stigma can pervade the lives of those suffering from mental challenges. According to research, stigma and discrimination of mentally ill youths can affect self-esteem and rob people social opportunities, which can result in people to lack happiness. Issues such as denied opportunities of employment can affect social and emotional wellbeing of the patients. Sadly, people with mental problems can make their difficulties worse if they are face stigma in the society. According to medical experts, many patients may respond slowly or make it to recover when they face stigma and discrimination because it can increase depression and other related challenges.
Abstract
Population of Interest
My population of interest is mentally ill youths. It is surprising to now that many children and youth have mental illness. Roughly, 14% of young people tend to face mental illness at some point during the development phase. Mental illness is a significant problem and we must address it head on to reduce the adverse effects and promote positive social changes in the society. Mental illness is a significant problem. Approximately 60% of mental illnesses show up before the age of 18 years. This condition has a significant impact on a child's development. Mentally ill youths are the most affected in terms of stigma and discrimination. It is essential to study this group so that we can understand why do people discriminate and stigmatize the mentally ill youths and how can this behavior be dealt with.
Equality Act of 2010
Mental health is a condition, which is considered as a disability, especially if it has a long term effect on the day-to-day life of the patient. The Equality Act 2010 may apply to this case. The act protects disabled people from facing unfair treatment. The Equality Act 2010 says that it is wrong to harass, discriminate, or victimize people because of their disability. The act also protects mentally ill people from facing discrimination at the workplace. The law further protects the patients when they want services such as housing, education, and others.
Moreover, it is essential to talk openly about the problem of stigma and discrimination against people with mental illness because it will promote education and awareness in society. Lastly, it is important to educate society about the problem because many people are not aw.

The document discusses different types of prevention interventions for issues like substance abuse. Universal prevention interventions target the general public without considering individual risk factors. Selective interventions target specific at-risk subgroups. Indicated interventions identify early signs of risk to respond with special programs before a clinical diagnosis.

Therapeutic communities aim to provide specialized, tailored care and rehabilitation for substance abuse issues. Finally, the document notes that cultural beliefs cause many men to avoid seeking medical help due to associating it with weakness, inferiority, and loss of status.

Rule of Thirds is a group that aims to help young mentally ill people improve their quality of life by facilitating a supportive environment for peers to discuss success without feeling burdened by their illness. The group follows the philosophy that many mentally ill people have the capacity to give back to society, just as society provides support for them. They help people engage with their community through volunteering, employment, and education. While they cannot provide medical advice, they officially support engaging in therapy, medication, and developing a support system, which is what their group offers.

- 1. Role of psychologists in human rights Psychologists play a crucial role in promoting and protecting human rights. Human rights are the basic freedoms and entitlements that are inherent to every individual, regardless of race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other status. Psychologists, with their expertise in human behavior, thought, and emotion, have an important part to play in ensuring that these rights are respected and upheld. One of the ways psychologists contribute to human rights is through their work in promoting mental health and well-being. Psychologists work to understand and treat mental health conditions, and help individuals to lead fulfilling lives. This is particularly important in contexts where individuals may have experienced trauma, abuse, or other forms of human rights violations, as such experiences can have serious and lasting impacts on mental health. Psychologists can help to provide care and support to individuals who have been affected by such violations, and can help to address the root causes of these problems, such as poverty, conflict, and discrimination. Psychologists also play a key role in addressing issues of discrimination and promoting equality. Discrimination can take many forms, including discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality, or other factors. Psychologists can help to challenge these forms of discrimination through research, education, and advocacy. They can also work to promote inclusive environments where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. For example, psychologists can provide training to organizations to help them to better understand and respond to the needs of diverse groups of people, and can help to develop policies and practices that promote equality and inclusiveness. Another important role for psychologists in promoting human rights is in their work with individuals who have been subjected to abuse, torture, or other forms of mistreatment. In such cases, psychologists can provide critical support and treatment to individuals who have suffered trauma, and can work to document and document these violations, providing important evidence for the pursuit of justice and accountability. This work is especially important in contexts where individuals may not have access to legal remedies or other forms of protection, and where the psychological impacts of abuse can be severe and long-lasting. Psychologists also play a role in promoting human rights through their work in education and public awareness. By educating the public about human rights and the psychological effects of violations, psychologists can help to increase understanding and promote greater respect for these rights. They can also work to build partnerships and coalitions with other professionals and organizations that are working to promote human rights, providing their expertise and insights to help shape policies and practices.
- 2. Finally, psychologists can help to protect human rights by advocating for the rights of individuals and communities. This may involve working to raise awareness about human rights abuses and advocating for greater protection and accountability for those who violate these rights. Psychologists can also work to promote the development of legal and policy frameworks that support and protect human rights, and can engage in advocacy and activism to promote greater respect for these rights. In conclusion, psychologists play a critical role in promoting and protecting human rights. Through their work in mental health, discrimination and equality, response to abuse and mistreatment, education and public awareness, and advocacy, psychologists can help to ensure that individuals and communities around the world are able to exercise their basic freedoms and entitlements. By working together with other professionals, organizations, and communities, psychologists can help to create a world in which all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, and in which human rights are upheld and protected.
