Book Synopsis Promoting Mental Health in Scarce-resource Contexts by : Inge Petersen
Book excerpt: Promoting mental health demands actions that enhance resilience in individuals, families and communities, and ensure health enhancing policy and legislative frameworks. These actions are at the heart of human development, and can assist in improving social and economic prospects for people in low-to middle-income countries. This book provides a conceptual and theoretical base for the application of mental health promotion and the prevention of mental disorders in low-resource settings - offering examples of evidence-based programmes across the lifespan.
