About the Course

 

Although many people feel like they understand the concept of diversity, it is a very nuanced topic. This course on Diversity and Mental Health for Educators is tailored to provide a detailed description of the different types of diversity, how negative reactions to diversity at work affect many people’s mental health, and how to promote inclusion in the educators’ community instead.

After finishing this course, you will be able to describe both diversity and intersectionality, as well as ways in which inequality and discrimination manifest at school. This course is based on current research and utilizes online learning techniques to provide valuable information on diversity and its relationship with mental health. Completing the Diversity and Mental Health for Educators course will take approximately 60-80 minutes of continuous learning time.
