Beginning a Lesson on the Role of Agencies Offering Support in Health

Hook: Storytelling Through a Scenario

Introduction to the Scenario

Imagine waking up one morning feeling unwell, uncertain about whether to visit a doctor, reach out for mental health support, or learn about wellness programs in your community. You’re overwhelmed with the choices and unsure of where to turn!

Setting the Scene

As you sit in your living room, you notice a flyer tucked under your coffee table. It’s an invitation to a health fair happening in your neighborhood. Curious, you pick it up and start reading about various agencies that are dedicated to providing support in different areas of health—physical, mental, and preventative care.

Engaging the Class

Now, let’s step into your shoes. What do you think your first call to action should be? Should you prioritize immediate medical needs, seek mental health resources, or investigate wellness initiatives?

In small groups, discuss your thoughts and feelings about navigating health support systems. Consider the following questions:

• What support agency would you seek out first?
• What types of services do you think these agencies provide?
• Why do you think these agencies are critical in our communities?

Transition to Lesson Objectives

Now that you’ve explored your thoughts and feelings about health support agencies, let’s dive into today’s lesson. Our objectives are to:

• Identify different health agencies and their roles in the community.
• Understand how these agencies provide essential support for individuals in need.
