Overview
Imagine you are working as a clinical psych intern at a local high school.  Your job is to assist the school psychologist with encouraging students to utilize the mental health services provided on campus.  Your clinical supervisor has asked you to develop a clinical infographic/advertisement for ONE of the disorders listed below!

Step 1: Choose a disorder from this list
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

Specific phobia (your choice)

Agoraphobia

Social anxiety disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Panic disorder

Acute stress disorder

Posttraumatic stress disorder

Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Step 2: Choose a model/perspective (for more on each model, please see "Models of Abnormality" lectures.)
The model will be used for the etiology (explanation of the disorder) and the treatment options.  I suggest you refer to the reading and resources for help with this section.

Psychodynamic
Humanistic

Cognitive

Biological

Sociocultural

Behavioral

OPTIONAL:

Choose a segment of the high school population 

You may want to target a specific sub-group: sexual identity, gender, age range, ethnic/racial group, first-year student only, seniors only, pre-military/ROP, in danger of dropping out, over-achievers, survivors of trauma, on probation…this is not a requirement but may help you develop an approach or design.

 Reply
Now that you have selected the disorder and the model, you will create your advertisement.  You can use any program or method, such as Google Docs Slides or Canva. 

Include the following on your infographic/flyer:

Provide a description or summary of the disorder, including diagnostic criteria (it does not have to be a comprehensive list). The information should come from the readings.

Etiology: Why someone gets this disorder specific to your chosen model.  This must come from our readings. (short paragraph)

One treatment example for this type of disorder related to the model you selected. This section should come from our readings. (short paragraph)

Add other relevant information from the readings or outside sources that support your infographic/flyer.  These can be stats, quotes, etc.   Any outside sources must be referenced using APA format with citations and references. 

Reply rules and tips
If you use Google Slides or docs, download your advertisement as a PPT or DOCx file to submit or embed into the reply box.  Please do not just put a link. 

Remember, this is for a HIGH SCHOOL audience, so use language and a design to catch a teenager's attention.

Be as accurate and up-to-date as possible and present all sides of the disorder. (e.g., alternate treatment approaches or theories). 

APA is required for all paraphrases.  Direct quotes can only be used for stats. APA Help
