Battling mental illness from multiple different aspects allows individuals to reach full recovery faster. Through observation of client problems and daily stressors at Transitions Mental Health Services in Rock Island, lack of knowledge about resources, options, and educational tools was identified. …

Women’S Involvement In Adult Education And Family Literacy: Consequences For Social Networks, Social Support, And Mental Health, Esther Prins, Maricela Carrera, Brendaly Drayton, Ramazan Gungor, Faith Miller, Tom Spencer
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper presents preliminary findings from a mixed-methods study that examines how women use adult education and family literacy programs to construct supportive social networks, and, in turn, how these influence their mental health. We argue that these programs offer opportunities to form friendships and to access emotional, informational, and material support, thereby alleviating psychological distress arising from poverty, caregiving, and other stressors. However, intentional efforts to cultivate social ties and support systems among adult learners are needed.
