Description:
<p>The <em>Zenstudies: Making a Healthy Transition to Higher Education</em> program aims to prevent depression and anxiety among first-year students in post-secondary school. It includes three modules, or prevention levels.</p>
<p><strong>Module 1</strong>, presented here, is an in-class universal prevention program, designed to be delivered by a post-secondary instructor, that helps students develop mental-health awareness and understand the transition to higher education, equipping them with preventive strategies so they can successfully adjust. This first module of <em>Zenstudies</em> endeavours to ease the transition to higher education and thereby lower the risk of dropout, while providing students a better grasp of the issues surrounding internalizing problems, such as anxiety and depression, and equipping them with a few prevention strategies.</p>
<p>The facilitator’s guide has been specifically designed for teachers who want to use the program in their classrooms. </p>
<p>The participant’s workbook was developed for students and accompanies the facilitator’s guide, which will be used by your teacher. </p>
<p>In Section 1 of the program, your teacher will give you information about the difficulties of transitioning from high school to college or university; for example, the challenges in the transition to adulthood and the importance of effective time management.</p>
<p>Then in Section 2, the teacher will provide indicators that will help you recognize symptoms of anxiety and depression that you might experience during this transition.</p>
<p>Finally, in Section 3, you’ll learn a few preventive techniques and strategies for anxiety and depression.</p>
<p>The program is accompanied by an online component available via the website of the Research Laboratory on School-Based Mental Health at the Université du Québec à Montréal’s Psychology Department (<a href="http://www.labomarcotte.ca" >www.labomarcotte.ca</a>/en).</p>
