Mental Health Across the Lifespan
Author: Mary Steen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317693876
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Mental wellbeing is an integral part of being, and feeling, healthy, and it is estimated that one in four people will suffer from some form of mental illness during their lifetime. In spite of this, it is often overlooked in mainstream healthcare. The overall aim of this book is to provide knowledge and understanding of how mental health affects human beings from conception through to end-of-life, and the challenges that society as a whole has to address in the treatment of mental health. Beginning with an exploration of historical, social and cultural contexts, the book then goes on to discuss mental health care, and mental health promotion, during pregnancy and early parenthood, childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, adulthood for both men and women, and in older people. Containing reflective exercises, the chapters are designed to provide an easily-accessible and engagingly-written introduction to mental health. Containing chapters that can be read and reviewed in isolation, or used as an entire text, Mental Health Across the Lifespan: A Handbook provides a solid introduction to mental health for students. The book will also act as a useful reference for doctors, nurses, midwives, health visitors, allied health professionals, and health and social care support workers who have no specialist mental health training but often work in partnership with, and care for, people suffering from mental health issues.

Tales of the Old Mustard House
Author: Yashada garg
Publisher: Blue Rose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Tales of the Old Mustard House is the narrative of a dysfunctional family. The parents, who are struggling with mental health issues, find themselves trapped in an unpleasant marital bond wherein they barely communicate with each other, while their nineteen year old daughter makes numerous attempts to bring a shift in their household. An interesting aspect of this tale is how the principal characters grapple with the monotonous course of their lives, and how a little personal space binds them together in interesting ways. Although this story provides a glimpse into the battles of every other family at some point in their lives, it specifically caters to the lack of expression and warmth among these units. While addressing the issues such as mental health, trauma, verbal abuse, and separation, this novella is targeted towards mothers who have ever felt emotionally suffocated, fathers who have ever pretended to be strong, and children who have grown up in an unhappy household.

Becoming the Supervisor
Author: Hugh R. Alley
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000068862
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Becoming a Supervisor tells the story of Trevor who works as one of the production team in a small company that makes toy boats. He is thrust into the role of supervisor unexpectedly when his general manager reacts to his constant suggestions of how things could be better. When the GM becomes ill, Trevor struggles to take up the slack for several months until a new GM arrives. The core of the book follows Trevor’s growth under the coaching of Julie, his new GM. As Trevor deals with one challenge after another, Julie guides him on a journey to learn the core skills needed by all front-line leaders. The reader takes away four key ideas: (1) Front-line leadership skills are not too complicated to learn. (2) These skills are something that they can develop in themselves, regardless of what their organization does. (3) Tools and skills are there to help solve real business problems; implementing the tools is not a strategy. (4) In your role as supervisor (directing or responsible for others) you have to look after the mission of the company AND look after your people – doing only one is not an option. Essentially, this book is intended to give hope to a new supervisor or team lead. They will finish the book knowing that the skills they need can be learned and aren’t that difficult to acquire. It is designed to introduce the central skills that any supervisor has to be able to master at least with a basic working competency: instructing, leading, and making improvements in their own area. It introduces some of the more widely used tools that a new supervisor may need. More importantly, it ties these tools and skills to solving particular problems. Readers will understand that the tools are not important for their own sake, but only to the extent that the tools serve the larger objective of the organization. This book is designed to give the reader an entertaining and hopeful story about the very difficult transition from worker to supervisor, from being one of the crew to directing the crew. It is an emotionally tough transition, and the idea that someone could see a model of how it can work out will be helpful to folks new in a leadership role. Finally, the book provides a reference to other sources of information that will let the reader extend their learning about each of the tools or skills referenced in the contents.

Stories never end at a full stop, they continue after the semicolon; this is what this book is all about.
