Taking Care of Yourself and Your Family
Australian governments are now acknowledging that to simply expand mental health services is no longer the answer to improving the mental health of communities.
Instead, it makes much more sense to provide people with resources they can use themselves to take care of their mental health, and low intensity professional support (should they need it) long before a more serious and troubling condition develops.
Taking Care of Yourself and Your Family is the most popular book of its kind in Australia today. It offers easy to read information on a variety of common mental health topics and numerous practical strategies for tackling concerns about mental health.
