Activity 30 : Preparation of group work Time : 1½ hours Purpose : To allow the participants time to reflect on what they have gained from the training program so far and prepare a report to demonstrate their learning. Materials : This will depend on how the participants choose to create their reports; the most likely materials that will be used are large pieces of paper and pens, props for role plays such as chairs and table Directions : Step 1 Ask participants to divide into three groups (about 6-7 people in each group) to prepare a creative report on the training program so far that highlights: • what new information they have learned • things they feel they have understood well • things they feel less sure about • any other ideas or suggestions regarding the program. Allow 1½ hours for preparation of the presentation. Some possible methods for presenting reports include: • a role play or creative performance that incorporates the above information • drawings or posters that incorporate the above information • songs • short presentations or group discussions.

4 DAY Session 12: Presentation of group work and final evaluation Session Objective : To revise the information presented during the training program so far and evaluate participants ability to recognise symptoms of mental disorders, respond appropriately, refer people to appropriate services, and provide support to the family. Activity 31 : Presentation of group work Ask each group to identify a member of the group who will introduce the group and their presentation. Allow 1 hour for the three groups to present the report/presentation/ role play developed during the previous session, including 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for each comments and discussion Activity 32 : Participatory evaluation activity Time : 1 hour Purpose : To allow participants time to brainstorm the highs and lows of the training program and to communicate their ideas to the facilitator. Materials : Large pieces of paper and marker pens Directions : Step 1 What have we learnt? Ask the participants to think of something they have learnt across the course of the training that they are willing to share with the larger group i.e. what new knowledge or understanding do they have now that they did not have at the beginning of the training? Allow 3 minutes for this reflection, and then ask each of them to share their particular learning with the rest of the group, one by one. Each person should only speak for approximately one minute. NB: One of the facilitators can lead this session, and the other can make notes based on the participants’ comments. These notes will create a record for the purpose of course evaluation. Step 2 - Brainstorming the highs and lows Divide the participants into three groups and provide each group with large sheets of paper and pens. 104 AN INTRODUCTION TO MENTAL HEALTH
