This project assesses adolescents aged 15–18 from low-income homes who attend public
high schools. The demographic encounters development-specific difficulties because economic
difficulties prevent them from accessing required academic and therapeutic support networks.
Mental health stands as the central area of development I intend to support because anxiety and
depression rates have grown significantly among teens (Cornett, 2024). Students struggle with
emotional development because they lack regular access to mental health services while
undergoing adverse social reactions when they try to seek help.
I aim to enhance the mental health resources available in public high schools as part of
my developmental improvement initiative. The educational environment has dual significance
since it creates daily support access points for teens while many schools suffer from insufficient
funding or unqualified personnel. My professional objective is to work as a school counselor or
program coordinator who develops and implements school-based mental health systems.
Students who experience emotional support within my envisioned environment will achieve
improved academic achievement and personal development because they will feel secure and
validated (Young et al., 2024). The analysis of surrounding factors serves as my foundation to
improve adult adaptation among disadvantaged teenagers.

YOUR POST
Step 2. Brainstorm Problems & Potential Solutions
● Brainstorming Notes Discussion Post due by the end of Week 4; worth 40 pts.
● Respond to at least three classmates' posts due by the end of Week 7; worth 30 pts.
Create a discussion post, listing some important problems in your context as well as your thinking about
possible solutions:
1. Refine the selection of your developmental context (target population, aspect of
development, and setting) from Step 1 based on feedback received.
2. What are some problems in this developmental context? What ideas for improvements
come to mind?
● Understanding problems. Identify problems or issues that are already present in the context
you are wanting to reimagine (not problems that might occur in the implementation of your
changes). Include at least 3 problems. Consider these questions: What are some of this
context’s problems, limitations, and shortcomings? In what ways is the context not serving its
intended developing people? What features of this context get in the way of optimal
development?
● Identify class concepts. Name three concepts from class that can help you understand your
problems and generate solutions (see table at bottom of page four for ideas). Now explain a
bit about how these concepts can help you understand problems or generate solutions.
Include at least one sentence per concept.
● Generating solutions. Brainstorm potential solutions. These solutions are concrete changes
you would make in your context that would address the problems you identify. Include at least
3 improvements that solve these problems or address these issues. Consider these
questions: How could this context be improved in a better world? How would this new and
improved context better support development?
Getting Credit
Post your Brainstorming Notes in the Discussion Board Forum on Canvas by
the end of Week 4.

pts
3. How can you help your classmates think through the problems and solutions for the
issues they care about?
Respond to at least three classmates' posts with helpful feedback.
● Comment on problems. Let your classmates know what you think about the problems they
identified. Are they important problems? If you can think of any, add your ideas about
additional problems or issues for them to consider. Ask at least one constructive question.
● Comment on solutions. Think about the changes and solutions your classmates are
considering. Do you think they would work well? Solve the problems? If you can come up
with any, offer more solutions or improvements for them to consider. Ask at least one
constructive question.

Hints for learning more about your population, aspects of development, and developmental
context.
● If we haven't discussed your target developing people or context in class yet (e.g., you are
interested in the elderly), skip ahead in the book and read the relevant chapters as soon as
you can.
● If you find resources from outside of class (e.g., blogs, podcasts, TED talks, articles, or
reports), share them with your classmates!
● Feel free to incorporate good ideas from your classmates' brainstorming. You are
encouraged to share ideas and insights!
