AUDIOVISUAL MATERIAL IS USEFUL IN MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION. TYPES OF MATERIALS INCLUDE FILMS, FILMSTRIPS, DISCUSSION PICTURES, PLAYS, AND TAPE RECORDERS. IN USING THESE MATERIALS THE LEADER SHOULD BE FULLY FAMILIAR WITH THE PARTICIPATING GROUP, CAREFULLY PREVIEW THE MATERIALS, IDENTIFY THE MAIN CONCEPTS, PROBLEMS, OR FACTS ON WHICH THE GROUP SHOULD FOCUS, PLAN THE TOTAL LEARNING SITUATION IN WHICH THE MATERIALS WILL BE USED, AND BE PREPARED FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF REACTIONS. CAREFUL USE OF CERTAIN AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS AT ALL LEVELS OF EDUCATION CAN HELP STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS AND ATTITUDES IN INTERGROUP AND INTERCULTURAL RELATIONS. FILMS, COMMUNITY STUDIES, RECORDINGS, AND ROLE-PLAYING HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY USED. INTER-GROUP EDUCATION GIVES STUDENTS UNDERSTANDING OF, AND POSITIVE APPRECIATION FOR ALL CULTURAL GROUPS.
