History of Mental Heath in America Reading Activity

This reading activity is a great way to start a mental health unit in Psychology or Health! The provided reading - "America's Long-Suffering Mental Health System" by Zeb Larson of Origins (a publication from Ohio State University and Miami University) - has been split into separate sections to allow for group participation. This lesson can help reduce stigma early in a unit, promote group participation, and engage students with interesting content about mental health history.
