Being bold is important on Wikipedia

Being bold is important on Wikipedia

Possible topics for Wikipedia article project:

1.) Writing an article on "Public Mental Health" - as of now there is no page on Wikipedia about Public Mental Health. Mental Health is incredibly interesting to me and I would love to do more research in Public Mental Health so that I may understand it more myself too. I am considering applying for a Master's Degree Program at the Bloomberg School and Public Mental Health is one of the fields that I am interested in.

Here are some possible sources on Public Mental Health:

http://www.jhsph.edu/departments/mental-health/ National Research Council; Institute of Medicine (2009). England, Mary Jane; Sim, Leslie J., eds. Depression in parents, parenting, and children: Opportunities to improve identification, treatment, and prevention. Washington, DC: National Academies Press. doi:10.17226/12565. ISBN 978-0-309-12178-1. National Prevention Council (16 June 2011), National Prevention Strategy (PDF), Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Surgeon General, archived from the original (PDF) on 4 October 2011

2.) Rewrite and add to sections on "Positive Psychology." There is limited information available on the Wikipedia page for Positive Psychology. I took a class in positive psychology last semester and found it very interesting so I could probably use some of the sources from that class as references. The problem with this topic is it isn't really related to Public Health and unless I could find more research connecting Positive Psych to Public Health I don't think it would be very applicable.

Here are some possible sources on Positive Psychology:

Eden, D. & Aviram, A. (1993). Self-efficacy training to speed reemployment: Helping people to help themselves. Journal of Applied Psychology, 78(3) 352-360.
