When looking at the history of learning through simulation, one can review industries such as aviation, military, NASA, as well as the medical/nursing professions. By immersing students in a real life task or setting, they can apply the theoretical content that they have been learning in the classroom setting. Based on the Chinese proverb: "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand", my presentation will be an active simulation for all participants to try. The simulation will include Mental/Behavioral Health concepts to encompass a double purpose. Not only will you have a better understanding of how impactful simulation can be in your classroom, but also how you can develop empathy toward the students (friends, family, etc.) with mental and behavior health issues. *This is Part 1 of a 2 part series that need to be taken together on the same day. It cannot be taken alone since only half of the simulation will be completed in the time frame.
