What is mental health?Show answer
Mental health is the leading health concern for young Australians. Anxiety and depression are the most common conditions in this age group, and the years from the mid teens to mid twenties are when many lifelong mental health conditions first emerge. Social factors such as academic pressure, bullying and family difficulty interact with emotional factors such as identity, self esteem and stress, and with physical factors such as sleep and hormonal change. This makes mental health a clear example of how the dimensions of health connect.
What is investigating an issue?Show answer
Because Unit 2 includes an individual investigation, you should be able to research a youth health issue rigorously. Define a focused question about a specific issue and group, gather current data from reliable Australian sources such as health agencies and surveys, analyse the social, emotional and physical factors, and evaluate existing responses. Acknowledge limitations and reference your sources, which prepares you for the assessed investigation.
