Description:
The words anxiety and depression have become commonplace in our lexicons, not just as diagnoses but also as descriptions of how we feel. As a physician and TEDx speaker, with over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health, I have seen first-hand the importance of using emotional literacy as a tool in our understanding and even prevention of mental health disorders.

In this course, participants will start by understanding the landscape of mental health and the mental health dichotomy we currently exist in. Using emotional literacy as a preventative tool is the central theme that runs throughout the course, allowing participants real-time and real-life examples of how to approach, acknowledge and accept the emotions they are experiencing.
