HUM 295-02 - Special Topic: Mental Health Policy and Outreach

2 credits (Fall)

This course will examine specific issues in state and national mental health policy that are largely unknown or misunderstood by the public. We will learn how to use data analysis and digital humanities to prepare digital stories that are compelling and accessible for a general audience. Students will coordinate with Non-Profits to create materials such as brief videos, podcasts, and info-graphics, which can be disseminated through social media and traditional media outlets.
