Hello friends,
What topics would you bring to a Mental Health and Technology group? What resources would you share with your group? Also, do you know of another forum where I could get feedback on this?
I am preparing to lead a group while on Internship on, well, Mental Health and Technology. I've been interested in Cyberpsychology since 1993, and every year I work with clients, more and more of then bring up issues related to technology and the Internet.
Finally I have the opportunity to run a group of about 10 weeks on the topic. Here are some topics I've put together in an initial list. I would appreciate:
a) ideas for more topics
b) ideas on which of these existing topics to consolidate or remove
c) links or resources for use for these topics
d) any activities or fun things to offer to make the group more enjoyable and help recruit participants to the group
1. Netiquette
2. Social Media
3. Online identities
4. Anonymity
5. Cyberbullying
6. Online buying and selling
7. Gaming/Gambling
8. Psych resources
9. Online safety
10. Legal issues and the Internet
11. Resources for leisure/learning
12. Mobile devices
13. Fake news
We will ask some questions like "What's in a Pseudonym," and "What do you meme?" We will learn about TED talks and Psychcentral. We will look at what constitutes fake news and we will look at misrepresented apps. Of course, we will discuss the mental health aspects of all these.
If you have any feedback for such group please feel free to share! I really appreciate it!
Thank you!
Cayetana
