Slide 1: Greetings everyone, I am ________, and today I will highlight the significant concern of our society which affects many students’ lives “Bullying.” It has become widespread globally due to the wide adoption of technological advancement and unnecessary things to show off, which are made vulnerable to those who cannot afford those (Ahmed et al., 2022). Therefore, to mitigate its impact, it is necessary to develop a health promotion plan which provides strategic techniques and actions to improve the quality of life of individuals or communities. A health promotion plan offers an action plan that paves the way to attain the desired health results (Ahmed et al., 2022). Hence, in this assessment, I will critically analyze the impact and outcomes of health promotion plans on individual or community lives.
Scenario and Context
Slide 2: In the previous assessment, I discussed the issue at Vila health centre, where Aleena came with her mother and complained of depression and anxiety. Aleena is African American and recently transferred from Alaska to Chicago due to employment and health concerns. She got admission to one of the schools in Chicago where she felt uninvited and purposely excluded from all activities due to her belonging to an ethnic group and lower-class family. The white Americans treated her differently, refused to become friends, and bullied her verbally and physically, severely affecting her mental health. She is a 17-year-old girl with low self-esteem, and getting treatment from class fellows made her mental health more vulnerable, which caused her depression and anxiety.
Besides Aleena, many school individuals faced bullying for several reasons, including race, culture, age, family status, and demographics (Wang et al., 2021). Further, the report of the national centre for educational statistics indicated that reporting of females being bullied have higher than men (24% vs 17%) (Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center, 2020). In addition, most of the bullying occurs in the following places in schools: hallway or stairwell at school (43%), outside on school grounds (22%), on the school bus (8%), inside the classroom (42%), online or by text (15%), in the cafeteria (27%), and in the bathroom or locker room (12%) (Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center, 2020). Therefore, I have decided to provide assistance and guidance with the help of involving school management to reduce bullying’s impact on student’s lives despite their diversity of race, culture, ethnicity, or family status (Wang et al., 2021). I have developed the health promotion plan, where I also consider the Healthy People 2030 and SMART goals for the effective delivery of services.
