- Description
- The chapter highlights the potential of integrating service learning into mental health and human rights curricula. It emphasizes the transformative impact of service learning in fostering student engagement, empathy, and social responsibility by blending theoretical frameworks, historical context, and practical models. Service learning emerges as a powerful tool for promoting positive change within communities and encouraging student activism on mental health and human rights issues. Advocating for ongoing exploration and implementation of service learning initiatives is crucial despite India's delayed implementation of the Mental Healthcare Act of 2017. Harnessing service learning's potential is essential for effectively addressing these critical issues. 2024, IGI Global. All rights reserved.
