Information design has practical and theoretical components. As an academic discipline we may view Information Design (ID) as a “theoretical practice” or as a “practical theory.” Information Design has incorporated facts, influences, methods, practices, principles, pro- cesses, strategies, theories, or parts of theories, and tools from a large number of supporting sciences. In this book I present one internal information design theory, and six external information design theories with more than hundred facts, hypotheses, and postulates. The internal theory, called infology theory, is based on research within the academic discipline Information De- sign. The six external information design theories are based on research in supporting sciences. These theories are called Aesthetics theory for ID, Facilitating theory for ID, Communication theory for ID, Provid- ing theory for ID, Information theory for ID, and Language theory for ID.

  • Mental Health Literacy for Pre-Service and Practicing Teachers
    A comprehensive mental health literacy learner resource for pre-service and practicing teachers © This material is under copyright. It cannot be altered, modified or sold. It is meant for educational purposes only and is not a guide to diagnosis or treatment. Permission is granted for printing and distribution of this resource in classroom settings. 1 Course Overview Welcome Welcome to the Teach Mental Health course for educators. This course is designed for teacher candidates currently in Faculties of Education and for educators currently working in schools, including classroom teachers, administrators and other specialized roles such as Resource or Learning Support Teachers, for example. This course is for you. Developed by education and mental health professionals, this seven module (8 to 10 hours) course will give you a foundation of mental health literacy, including effective strategies to use in your educational settings and, in your own life. We sincerely hope that this course will deepen your interest in, and encourage your critical thinking about, mental health. Enjoy the learning! Dr. Stan Kutcher, Dr. Yifeng Wei, Dr. Wendy Carr, Dr. Susan Rodger and Dr. Chris Gilham. Why did we create this resource? National surveys report that about 70% of Canadian teachers identify a need for more knowledge about mental health/mental illness. A national scoping exercise found that a comprehensive mental health literacy curriculum resource is not available in most Canadian Faculties of Education. This online mental health literacy for pre- service teacher education resource has been developed to address that gap. What is the purpose of this educational resource? This resource aims to: • Enhance mental health literacy of teacher candidates in Canadian Faculties of Education.

  • Let's Face Adverse Childhood Experiences
    Thao et al. Archives of Psychology, vol. 3, issue 5, June 2019 Page 1 of 20 RESEARCH ARTICLE Let’s Face Adverse Childhood Experiences (FACE) It: Parent Education and Empowerment Chia Thao1,*, Irán Barrera2, Uyen (Sophie) Nguyen2 Authors’ affiliations: 1 California State University, Fresno, USA 2 Fresno State Department of Social Work, USA *Corresponding author: Chia Thao California State University, Fresno, USA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a major public health concern in the United States as childhood trauma can lead to long-term health and mental health consequences. They disproportionally affect low-income children of diverse backgrounds; however, parent education can potentially reduce ACEs among low-income young children. This study aims to examine whether parents’ perceptions toward ACEs changed after exposure to ACEs- related infographic education. In this study, we identified three main themes across the focus group interviews that highlight the importance of ACEs-related educational intervention. Following the ACEs-related education, our study found that the vast majority of participants’ attitudes toward and perceptions of ACEs changed from normalizing ACEs to acknowledging and accepting the consequences of ACEs; the participants also reported feeling empowered to prevent the cycle of ACEs. More importantly, the participants recognized that ACEs could cause long-term traumatic damage to the exposed child’s health outcomes, and they felt empowered to seek resources for ACEs-related interventions. These findings shed positive light on the significance of educating parents on ACEs, which should be considered for policy implications and program interventions to prevent child maltreatment in the United States.

We aimed to understand what factors influence the successful implementation of indicated psychological interventions within schools and colleges to help guide increased provision of mental health support within education settings. Methods: Sys- tematic search for studies that have reported barriers or facilitators to the implementation of indicated inter- ventions for adolescent emotional disorders delivered within schools and further education/sixth form colleges (CRD42018102830). Databases searched were EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, British Nursing Index, ASSIA, ERIC and British Education Index. A thematic synthesis of factors reported to impact implementa- tion was conducted.
