Description:

Jennifer Newton describes real life examples of good practice in preventative mental health. Five areas covering the life span have been identified and promising strategies are described in detail: what is provided, how the target group is engaged, resources required, management problems and the evidence of effectiveness. Interviews with both clients and providers help to bring to life the descriptions and demonstrate how the support came to be needed and what benefits clients themselves feel have been reaped.
