  3. Health Health – dynamic, every changing process of trying to achieve your individual potential in the physical, social, intellectual, spiritual and environment dimensions (wellness wheel)
  4. Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.[1] Mental health problems refers to the more common struggles and difficulties that affect everybody from time to time. Teens experiencing these types of problems may not require medical treatment, but can still benefit from some of the help and support that we talk about. Mental illness is a recognized, medically diagnosable illness that results in the significant impairment of an individual’s cognitive, affective or relational abilities. Mental disorders result from biological, developmental and/or psychosocial factors and can be managed using approaches comparable to those applied to physical disease (i.e., prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation).[2] Ex: next page http://wmhp.cmhaontario.ca/workplace-mental-health-core-concepts-issues/what-is-mental-health-and-mental-illness
  5. Influences on Mental Health Ups and Downs, setbacks, major blows, moods, change, - affect our health and even life expectance. Psychosocial Heath (intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual) Healthy people have managed to develop these dimensions to optimal levels, endless reserve for facing life’s ups and downs, responds to challenges, disappointments, jobs, frustrations, and pain by summoning up personal resources acquired through years of experience, resilient, strong

  9. Gender Differences? Any ideas?
  10. Depression and Gender 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will develop depression at some point in their lives Reasons: biological, psychological, social Biological: Women - hormone/premenstrual/childbirth Men – hormone level more stable Stressful event Coping strategies Women – strategies put them at risk (focus on it) Men – distract themselves from it

  13. Mental Health is NOT STATIC Mental illness is much like diabetes, heart disease and a broken leg — one can live with it and recover from it. Recovery is not an end state; it does not mean that the individual no longer has depression, schizophrenia or another mental illness. Recovery means that the person has stabilized and regained their role in society.[8] Learning more about mental health and mental illness is a crucial step in dispelling stigma, stopping prejudice and promoting early identification and effective treatment. Many factors! Issues: police, justice system, high schools, universities, employers
  14. Research has shown that: As many as one in five teenagers have experienced a major mental disorder (McGee et al, 1990) Mental health problems, including serious mental illness, are more likely to emerge between the ages of 16 and 24 than at any other stage of life (Canadian Psychiatric Association, 1993) Depression, stress, suicide and eating disorders are issues of concern for teens, and fear, embarrassment, peer pressure and stigma are barriers to getting help.

  17. CHANGE AND MORE CHANGE We move along the continuum on a daily basis – never static Mental Health like emotional/physical health affect all aspects of our life. Personal Family Career Community Work Change happens whether we like it or not. Depending on our personality, self-concept, self-esteem, temperament, values and beliefs affects how we deal with change. Our knowledge and skill set can also have an impact on how we handle stressors, situations that can challenge our mental health.
  18. Change Mental Health Behaviours Some people handle change with great ease. How? They have set personal goals, they have a sense of what they need to do to achieve those goals, they are fairly solid in who they are (self-concept and self-esteem) and what they stand for (personal standards), and they enjoy a variety of relationships partly because they communicate effectively. Some find change frustrating and or frightening. They can benefit from …..
  19. Defense Mechanisms Manners in which we behavior or think in certain ways to protect or defend ourselves. How do we distance ourselves from unpleasant thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Primitive (effective short term not long term, child/adult) Less Primitive Mature Adults who don’t learn better ways of coping with stress or traumatic events in their lives will often resort to primitive defense mechanisms. Fairly unconscious – self-awareness, develop new ones
  20. Defense mechanisms are most often learned behaviours, most of which we learned during childhood. As an adult, you can choose to learn some new behaviours and new defense mechanisms that may be more beneficial to you in your life. http://psychcentral.com/lib/15-common-defense-mechanisms/0001251?all=1
  21. Defense Mechanisms Denial A conscious refusal to take a threat seriously (alcoholic – thinks they function fine) Projection Accusing someone of your attitudes, feelings or purposes (you might be angry at your brother, you may project your anger on him – “What are you so mad about?” Displacement Shifting an emotion from its real object to a safer or immediate one (had to stay late at work to fix a problem, parents call and you displace the anger onto them) Repression Refusing to think about something that upsets you (forget about an appointment you don’t want to go to) Regression is the reversion to an earlier stage of development in the face of unacceptable thoughts or impulses. (bedwetting; adults refusing to leave bed and do daily activities) Rationalization is putting something into a different light or offering a different explanation for one’s perceptions or behaviors in the face of a changing reality. For instance, a woman who starts dating a man she really, really likes and thinks the world of is suddenly dumped by the man for no reason. She reframes the situation in her mind with, “I suspected he was a loser all along.” http://psychcentral.com/lib/2007/15-common-defense-mechanisms/all/1/

  28. Health Information

  29. Discover Education Skills for Healthy Living: Taking Charge of Your Health (33 minutes) Journal Questions
  30. Trends in Health Care Lean Approach Moose Jaw – Clinic hours, slowly increasing numbers Moving into urban centres and satellite communities Increase in population in the north and on reserves Aging population Shifts in ethno cultural makeup Immigration The total population of 15 to 24-year olds is projected to decrease 6% by the year 2011, while the corresponding aboriginal cohort will increase by 71%. In the 0-24 age group, Aboriginals are expected to comprise 38% of the population by 2011.16 Changing family structures Products, Cost Pharmaceutical Companies Generic drugs Employee plans Hospice / Palliative Wellness Centre Coverage Private vs Public (one tier or two tier system) Increased health promotion and prevention Federal funding and support
  31. Health Related Information Sources for health information How should consumers evaluate health related information? Primary Sources – original information, research data and reports Secondary Sources – info that is derived from the original, tv, newspaper, medical discoveries The further you get from the primary source of info the more interpretative the info can become. Criteria: Source – author, qualified, primary/secondary Purpose – enhance health, sell product, sway you to certain point of view on a controversial health issue Info itself – does the info support or conflict with what you know , info current, info make sense, backed by research, accepted by authorities
  32. Chipoltie Grill/organic vs GMO/Farming Patrick Moore – leader of Greenpeace turned pro-gmo Advertising/Story – sell produces Video
  33. Other Why false claims might look true? Marketing strategies around trendy news cholesterol, MacDonalds, medical cures – US not as stringent) Spontaneous remission: the disappearance of symptoms without any apparent cause or treatment (colds, ms, cancers) Placebo effect: an apparent cure or improved state of health brought about by a substance or product that has no medicinal value (10% of the population exceptionally susceptible to the power of suggestion)
  34. http://quackery.umwblogs.org/quackery-from-the-1800s-1960s/ Information from the internet can be every unreliable. This is another form of quackery.
  35. Quackery A quack is a person who pretends to be educated and licensed, or somehow credentialed to be able to diagnose or treat a patient with a health problem. He creates a persona that entices people to trust him with their health, then fraudulently sells that patient (or at least attempts to sell) a product or service that will supposedly cure the patient. Who is the biggest target? http://patients.about.com/od/ decision-making/a/fraudandquacks.htm http://www.diet.com/g/quackery Example: Anti-aging; Hair;Cancer Cures; Memory aids, Diets Gripe Water? Airborne http://patients.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=patients&cdn=health&tm=484&gps=412_25_1600_640&f=00&su=p284.13.342.ip_&tt=2&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php%3FstoryId%3D87937907
  36. Remember stories about the old snake oil salesman who traveled from town to town making claims for his fabulous product? Well, chances are today's quack is using the same sales tricks. Look for red flags in ads or promotional material that: Promise a quick or painless cure, Claim to be made from a special, secret, or ancient formula - often only available by mail or from one sponsor, Use testimonials or undocumented case histories from satisfied patients, Claim to be effective for a wide range of ailments, Claim to cure a disease (such as arthritis or cancer) that is not yet understood by medical science, Offer an additional "free" gift or a larger amount of the product as a "special promotion," or Require advance payment and claim limited availability of the product.

  41. Health Care Providers Allopathic Practitioners/Types of Physicians - ex: Most physicians use allopathic methods to treat patients. Allopathy is a method of treating a disease by suing remedies to produce effects different from those caused by the disease. Non-allopathic Practitioners: Acupuncturists – ancient Chinese medical practice involving the insertion of fine-guage needles at specific points on the body Chiropractors – belief that most health disorders stem from unusual alignments of the bones, primarily those in the spinal column Massage Therapists – art of massage to reduce body stress and muscle tension Naturopaths – natural therapies, formal training, organic foods, food supplements, sunshine, etc. Reflexologists – use massage that relieves nervous tension through the application of finger pressure, especially to the feet.

  46. Background Canada’s 300 year old history has brought about a commitment to share the liability of illness and injury among the entire population because our health care system is based on shared values of equity, fairness, compassion and respect for the dignity of all. Not the case in all countries! Tommy Douglas (1929 Baptist minister in Weyburn)– Premier of Saskatchewan 1947 – Government of SK introduced a province wide, universal hospital care plan 1962 – founding father of Medicare 1966 – Medical Act, all provinces and territories had a similar plans Federal is responsible first nations on reserves; Canadian Forces; veterans; inmates and some refugee claimants.
  47. continued 2002 Commission on the Future of Healthcare in Canada, looked at how to sustain our publicly funded health system into the future. (education, prevention and health maintenance) Amalgamations of health districts into fewer larger regions 2001 – total health expenditure (public and private) was projected to reach 102.5 billion. Many companies aggressively market health products and services to the public. Who watches them? Basic values: fairness and equity
  48. continued Cost of having a baby in Canada $2700, C-section $4600 http://publications.gc.ca/collections/Collection/H118-38-2006E.pdf The costs of childbirth can be steep. The charge for an uncomplicated caesarean section was about $15,800 in 2008, while an uncomplicated vaginal birth cost about $9,600, government data show. http://www.webmd.com/baby/features/cost-of-having-a-baby?page=2 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080810105452AA0uqIc
