Supporting positive mental health - Research in Practice
How can we develop effective mental health support? New Research in Practice resources explore the concepts, definitions and benefits of good mental health. The resources are open access for Mental Health Awareness Week.
Having an awareness of mental health is essential for ensuring that care and support is holistic and person-centred. In a new series of videos, Jo Holloway-Green explores effective support and examines the impact of negative stigmas on everyday interactions. She also considers how we can best support practitioners whose experiences may affect their own family lives.
In a new blog, Martin Hampton shares his experiences of anxiety as a social worker. He explores the impact on personal and professional life; and how acknowledging the emotional demands of work reduces anxiety.
The resources aim to support practitioners, and the people they work with, to sustain positive mental health.
