***Assignment 1 proposed topic Information***
Topic: Mental Health Awareness and Support in Primary Care
Rationale: I am passionate and strongly believe in the importance of raising
awareness about mental health and the accessibility of support for those struggling with
mental health issues. Speaking from personal experience, I have struggled with chronic generalized anxiety disorder and mild major depression all of my life. Mental health plays a role a vital role in our overall well-being but unfortunately is often stigmatized and overlooked. By incorporating health awareness and support into primary care settings we can break down those barriers and ensure
early intervention to those in need. Given the increasing prevalence of health conditions
addressing them in a primary care setting can result in better outcomes for patients’
lower healthcare costs and a more holistic approach, to overall healthcare.
