This content is part of the larger Mental Health Net site. It offers detailed explanations of the origins, management, and treatment of eating disorders. The content is written at the professional level and is decidedly not for student use. This information could be useful for school guidance counselors, nurses, or teachers who suspect an eating disorder in one of their students. Note: the page opens up with an ad, but you can click to "skip this ad."

This site from Mental Health Net offers basic information on suicide in adults and young people, along with a long list of resources for help and guidance. Mental Health Net also maintains an on-line listing of treatment centers.

tag(s): psychology (67)

In the Classroom

The most useful resource on this site would be the list of resources that offer help to someone suffering from suicidal thoughts. Share the resources with students during a health class on the interactive whiteboard or projector. While a student suffering from these thoughts won't jump up and thank you, having the information can only benefit them.

This article from the Mayo Clinic seeks to dispel a number of common misconceptions about the nature of suicidal persons, especially young people. It also provides specific strategies for recognizing and responding to warning signs of suicide.

tag(s): psychology (67)

In the Classroom

This article would be the most useful in high school, and would be appropriate for gathering general information about suicide and help lines. Use the site in a health class as a way to broach the topic with students, sharing the site on an interactive whiteboard or projector. Teachers can have students explore it on their own, afterward having a class discussion on ways to spot depression in friends and how to deal with it.

Find webinars, a directory of ADHD professionals, support groups, workshops and much more.

This is a complete copy of the school health manual for the State of Maine, listed as a series of Adobe Acrobat files. It provides comprehensive sections on a wide range of medical and psychological conditions and their management in school settings. The information is clearly organized, making it easy for teachers and others without medical training to find specific information. Great resource!

Get involved in real-world water conservation issues, investigate STEM careers in science and engineering, and meet scientists and engineers from those disciplines. Also, watch Youth in Action videos where young people work for positive change. Expeditions are designed around conserving water with titles such as Water by Design, Shell Shocked, Beyond the Dead Zone, Into the Dead Zone, and Plastic Seas. Also, find many Educator Resources that can be filtered by grade level, Program (Food, Toxins, Energy, Marine Debris, and several others), and media type (Videos, Lesson Plans, Worksheets, etc.). EarthEcho was Founded by Philippe and Alexandra Cousteau, grandchildren of Jacques Yves Cousteau, in honor of their father Philippe Cousteau, Sr. If your district blocks YouTube, the videos may not be viewable.

tag(s): conservation (92), engineering (126), scientists (63), STEM (279), sustainability (43), water (102)

In the Classroom

Show students how to combat the global water crisis starting with their communities. Immerse students in hands-on, inquiry projects with these expeditions, or use the lesson plans and videos. Introduce them on an interactive whiteboard or projector and select a class project to complete. List the choices on Dotstorming, reviewed here, for students to comment and vote. Once students have launched into the expedition or lesson plan, ask them to keep a journal about what they are learning using Penzu, reviewed here, with Penzu you can add images or your own artwork as illustrations. Be sure to bookmark these expeditions and lesson units for future use. For students who are interested in pursuing a career in STEM allow them time to review Cabinet of Curiosities, reviewed here. Be sure to post the link on your web page for students to use at home, too.
