Beskrivning

Fostering Mental Health Literacy through Adolescent Literature provides educators a starting point for engaging students in the study of adolescent literature that features mental health themes with the intended goal of developing students’ mental health literacy while simultaneously attending to English Language Arts content and literacy standards. Each chapter, co-authored by a literacy expert and mental health specialist, features a specific adolescent novel and provides middle and high school teachers background information on the novel’s featured mental health theme(s), along with pedagogical approaches for guiding readers into, through, and out of the novel. In doing so, this text seeks to raise awareness of mental health issues thereby reducing associated stigma and normalizing individual and peer mental health experiences for all adolescents.

Recensioner i media

This thoughtful compilation focuses on a critical current topic in secondary education: mental health. As overwhelming numbers of adolescents struggle with mental health challenges, this book addresses how adolescent literature can help generate awareness of, reduce the stigma associated with, and normalize experiences with mental health issues. Aimed at middle- and high-school English language arts (ELA) teachers, this volume provides background information and insight into various mental health needs while maintaining a clear focus on using the suggested books to introduce, teach, and reinforce specific concepts within the ELA curriculum. Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.
