FAMILY COMMUNICATION & HEALTH ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

Investigate common stressors as well as predominant behavioral models used to explain human stress and coping. This
module will conclude with the first of our adapting to change contexts: the disclosure process. We will apply
this in the context of HIV disclosure within the family. The assignment is as below.

2. Scroll through the website content. How do you see stigma or shame (fear of judgment) operating in the
   posts on that website?
3. Take a screen shot (Links to an external site.) or save an image (postcard) from that website and upload it
   here (using the embed image icon in the toolbar above).
