Intercept! Activity

Activity Instructions Five groups Each group will specialize in one Intercept (Group One will be Intercept One, etc.) Take three minutes to discuss your Intercept in your group: How would it work? Who are the people responsible for interceding? What is the goal at this intercept? Workshop the model with a case study

This is Richard

Activity Questions for Each Intercept How could Richard be identified as someone with mental illness at your stage? What would likely identify them? What are the benefits for Richard of being identified at this stage? What are the drawbacks, if any, of being identified at this stage and not sooner?
