Title: “Promoting Mental Health and Wellness: Strategies and Treatment Options for a Diverse Population”

As a mental health and wellness professional, you are tasked with presenting wellness strategies, holistic coping, and treatment options for a target population you want to work with.
Create a digital presentation (of 8-10 slides, not including the title and reference slides) that addresses the following:
Describe your key audience/target population, keeping in mind their families, age groups, or cultural backgrounds.
Describe a mental health crisis this audience/population might struggle with.
Explain assessment practices (intake interview, DSM manual, etc.) and treatment modalities (evidence-based practices) you could use to assist them.
Identify three to five wellness strategies you could recommend to someone struggling with this issue and explain why these are effective strategies.
Identify different providers or professionals that may be part of a care team for treating this issue within an integrated health model.
Describe your rationale for why using best practices for an integrated health model is useful in mental health and wellness practice.
Cite three to five scholarly resources to support your claims.
Each presentation slide should include speaker notes of 100-150 words to further expand on the content presented in the slide. Speaker notes should be for each of the 8-10 presentation slides. In addition, support your presentation content with a minimum of three to five scholarly sources.
