  2. Signs of Good Mental Health • You are realistic about your own abilities and who you are. • You take responsibility for your actions and realize that there are consequences. • You avoid high risk behaviors. • Open minded • Able to have fun and relax • You have respect for yourself and others • Invest time in developing relationships and realize the importance of doing so. • Express your emotions in ways that do not harm you or anyone else.

  3. Needs and Wants • Each of you will be creating a list of 25 needs that you have. • You are going to use pgs. 191 – 193 to personally rank you needs according to Maslow’s Pyramid of Need. • Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a ranked list of those needs essential to human growth and development presented in ascending order from the most basic to the most fulfilling or satisfying. • Do you think that you categorize your needs the same way as Maslow categorizes needs? Are your needs more basic or most fulfilling?

  6. Defining Defense Mechanisms • This defense mechanism activity will be used to explain the different ways humans react to emotions. It is our basic way of dealing with anxiety or fear. • The students will be broken up into eight groups; each group will discuss and rationalize an example for their particular defense mechanisms. • Each group will have to rationalize the definitions to the defense mechanisms using pg. 204. Once each group has completed the assignment, the class will present their topic to the class.
