BURWOOD GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL
Yr 10 PDHPE Assessment Task
Mental Health
Outcomes to be assessed:
5.1: Analyses how they can support their own and others’ sense of self.
5.2: Evaluates their capacity to reflect on and responds positively to challenges.
5.15: Devises, justifies and implements plans that reflect a capacity to prioritise, think creatively7 and use resources effectively.
Background Reading:
There are many reasons which may lead to damaging, stigmatising and discriminatory attitudes towards mental illness. These include: lack of information, lack of exposure to people with mental illness in the past due to institutionalisation, prior media coverage of mental illness in a negative or scary light, mental illness as an area not completely understood so there is associated fear.
A major Australian survey measured community attitudes, beliefs, opinions and knowledge about mental illness. Generally, it showed women tend to be better informed about mental illness than men. Women report more exposure to, and experience of, mental illness and indicate more tolerance, sympathy and acceptance. Extremes of age are least informed about mental illnesses, while young people are both tolerant and keen to know morel. Personal exposure to a mental illness was the most significant actor in people’s level of knowledge and attitudes.
Task Description:
Task 1: You are required to survey 10-15 people about their attitudes to mental health problems and people with a mental illness. A copy of the “Community Attitude Survey” is included in this handout. You are to survey a variety of people within your family, school or local community. Please remember the possibility that some people may not want to answer the survey due the sensitive nature of the questions.
Task 2: Complete the “Community Attitude Survey Record Sheet”. (I will attached my record sheet donwn you just need to put the information together
Task 3: Complete a written report to summarise what the results tell us about people’s attitudes to mental illness. For example: my sample was not well informed about mental illness; only half the people surveyed agreed they would have someone with a mental illness as a close friend; the women in our sample were more tolerant than the men about mental illness etc. The report should be no longer than one page in length.
