Produktbeschreibung

Mental health needs are universal. About half of us will end up having a diagnosable mental health problem at some point in our lives, and we all know what it is like to have a bad day. We understand that conflicts can be hard and that they can often bring out the worst in us.

There are simple ways to be ready for when mental health needs arise during conflicts. Mental Health and Conflicts: A Handbook for Empowerment introduces different mental health perspectives, dispels common stereotypes, and provides tools for empowering mental health communication. After learning these skills, you will be ready to support anyone's mental health needs in conflicts.

This book is designed to help laypeople as well as professional conflict resolvers, people living with mental health problems as well as people with no knowledge of mental health, and those dealing with conflicts that are specifically focused on mental health as well as those facing any other kind of conflict. It includes case studies, personal stories, and takeaway tools to help readers apply the skills to the situations they face in their personal and professional lives.
