According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fewer than half of adults seek treatment for mental health disorders. Those interested in careers in mental health investigate why this is so by looking at the stigma associated with mental disorders and the roadblocks that hinder people from getting mental health care. Pairs research a mental disorder, its causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments. They then prepare a presentation of their findings for the whole class.
