Understanding PTSD

Understanding the effects of PTSD

This lesson aims to help 10th grade students understand the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the brain, body, and emotions. Students will watch a TED Talk explaining how PTSD manifests in everyday life and engage in a guided discussion followed by a reflective writing activity. This lesson is important because it raises awareness about mental health issues and promotes empathy and understanding among students.
