Don't forget to include any services that may be accessed via the internet or telephone services. In your MH&MHN ePortfolio list a minimum of 10 services, including public and private sector services as well as Non-government organisations (NGOs) and chose three services to expand on: one must be a government service and the other two include at least one form the other sectors.

In your response of no more than 200 words per service outline what they provide, how their services are delivered and the source of funding for the service.

7. Reflection:

This final task of the ePortfolio is a capstone for the course that requires you to critically reflect on you learning journey.

Take a moment and reflect on the following questions, in light of your weekly reflections:

• "What do I know about mental health?"
• "Do I have any fears or concerns about mental health?"
• "How do I react towards people I see or people I know who live with a mental health problem?"

After reviewing how you responded to these questions, your task is to critically reflect on them in light of your new knowledge in this area.

In your response consider the following;

• Is there is a change in response?
• What do you think contributed to this? If there is no change why do you think this is so?
• What is your "take home message" from this course

Word Limit: 350-400 words.
