Component Evaluation: Group Think Tank

Timing: 30 Minutes
Mode: In-class; Online

Ask your students to download, read and reflect on Margo’s recovery story and collectively make a list of the different tools that Margo found helpful.  Next, have your students brainstorm other practices that would be helpful in the process of recovery and consider how the community, mental health professionals, and policymakers could support these tools.

Using a blackboard or similar aid, pull these ideas into a collective mind map or infogram.  This activity can also be conducted online by having students create and upload their list contributions to the discussion board.

Independent learners working online should make their own list of helpful tools, reflect on other practices that would be helpful in the process of recovery and consider how the community, mental health professionals, and policymakers could support these tools. Use these ideas to annotate your list and then upload it to your institution’s online education system.
