Review

Careers in public health go well beyond working in neighborhood clinics and promoting healthy living initiatives. A degree in public health can lead to professional careers in education, public policy, government, not-for-profit organizations, global health and so much more. Systems thinking utilizes habits, tools and concepts to develop an understanding of the interdependent structures of dynamic systems. When individuals have a better understanding of systems, they are better able to identify the leverage points that lead to desired outcomes.

The use of people-first language in destigmatization of mental illness and successful treatment

Reflection paper

The American Psychological Association defines “people-first language” as:

“Syntactical rules recommended for describing individuals who have a disability: that is, the arrangement of words in a sentence so that it identifies the individuals first and their disability second and describes what they have rather than equating them with their disability. Examples of the use of such language include “a child with a learning disability” (rather than “a learning-disabled child”), “a child with Down syndrome” (rather than “a Down child”), and “a person who uses a wheelchair” (rather than “a wheelchair-bound person”)” (APA, 2020 (Links to an external site.)).

Comment on how people-first language relates to  the destigmatization of mental illness and successful treatment. For example, why is it important for a person to be described as “a person with schizophrenia” versus “a schizophrenic”? You response must be 300-500 words and follow the following format to receive full credit (10 points):

1) Claim – a one to two sentence thesis responding to the prompt.

2) Support – from an external source (i.e. not your textbook) defending your thesis. At least three discrete ideas or examples supporting your claim written in your own words.

3) Interpretation – 3-5 sentences drawing conclusions based on the support you provide.

Use in-text citations and a reference list that are APA formatted (use the APA Publication Manual or OWL Purdue (Links to an external site.)).
