History of Mental Health
This timeline-based project walks students through the major shifts in mental health perspectives, from ancient beliefs to modern reforms. Students research key events, cultural attitudes, and treatment approaches across eight historical periods, then build a creative, informative timeline using Canva. Guided questions address critical turning points such as the Asylum Era, the role of Dorothea Dix, the emergence of psychoanalysis, and the first DSM publication. Includes editable slides, printable worksheets, and linked design templates. A strong fit for Counseling & Mental Health I, General Psychology, or even interdisciplinary history-infused lessons.
