Download or read book Assessing Mental Health and Psychosocial Needs and Resources written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) is a term used to describe a wide range of actions that address social, psychological and psychiatric problems that are either pre-existing or emergency-induced. These actions are carried out in highly different contexts by organizations and people with different professional backgrounds, in different sectors and with different types of resources. All these different actors--and their donors--need practical assessments leading to recommendations that can be used immediately to improve people's mental health and well-being. Although a range of assessment tools exist, what has been missing is an overall approach that clarifies when to use which tool for what purpose. This document offers an approach to assessment that should help you review information that is already available and only collect new data that will be of practical use, depending on your capacity and the phase of the humanitarian crisis. This document is rooted in two policy documents, the IASC Reference Group s (2010) "Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Humanitarian Emergencies: What Should Humanitarian Health Actors Know?" and the "Sphere Handbook's Standard on Mental Health" (Sphere Project, 2011). It is written primarily for public health actors. As the social determinants of mental health and psychosocial problems occur across sectors, half of the tools in the accompanying toolkit cover MHPSS assessment issues relevant to other sectors as well as the health sector.

Download or read book Plus intelligent que la m thode de Napol on Hill remettre en question les id es de r ussite du livre Plus intelligent que le diable Volume 04 written by MAX EDITORIAL and published by Max Editorial. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans son livre « Plus intelligent que le diable », Napoléon Hill propose une philosophie de travail acharné et de persévérance comme clés du succès. Cependant, ce point de vue ignore l'importance de l'équilibre travail-vie personnelle , qui est essentiel à la santé mentale, physique et émotionnelle d'un individu. Cet ebook vise à critiquer la culture du travail excessif et épuisant présente dans l'œuvre de Hill et à défendre un modèle de réussite qui valorise le temps libre, le repos et les relations interpersonnelles. Critique de la culture de l'excès Le travail de Hill promeut l'idée que le succès nécessite des sacrifices personnels, notamment travailler de longues heures et abandonner ses passe-temps et ses loisirs. Cette vision, en plus d'être intenable à long terme, peut engendrer plusieurs problèmes, tels que : •Stress : Un travail excessif peut générer un stress chronique, qui contribue au développement de maladies physiques et mentales, telles que l'anxiété, la dépression et les problèmes cardiovasculaires. •Burnout : Le manque de repos et de temps libre peut conduire à un épuisement professionnel, caractérisé par un épuisement physique et mental, une perte de productivité et une démotivation. •Détérioration des relations interpersonnelles : donner la priorité au travail plutôt qu'à la vie personnelle peut nuire aux relations avec la famille et les amis, conduisant à la solitude et à l'isolement. L'importance de l'équilibre Maintenir un équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie personnelle est essentiel au bien-être d'un individu. Le temps libre et le repos sont essentiels pour : •Rechargez votre énergie : Le repos physique et mental permet à l'individu de récupérer son énergie et de retourner au travail avec plus d'énergie et de productivité. •Cultiver les passe-temps et les intérêts : Le temps libre permet aux individus de se consacrer à des activités qui leur apportent plaisir et satisfaction, contribuant ainsi à leur bien-être émotionnel. •Renforcer les relations interpersonnelles : Le temps consacré à la famille et aux amis renforce les liens affectifs et contribue au sentiment d'appartenance et de soutien social. Un modèle de réussite holistique Le véritable succès ne consiste pas seulement à atteindre des objectifs professionnels. Il est important de poursuivre un modèle de réussite holistique qui valorise le bien-être dans tous les domaines de la vie, notamment : •Santé physique et mentale : Prendre soin de sa santé physique et mentale est essentiel pour avoir l'énergie et la volonté d'atteindre ses objectifs. •Relations interpersonnelles : Entretenir des relations saines avec votre famille et vos amis contribue à votre bien-être émotionnel et à votre bonheur. •Temps libre et passe-temps : consacrez du temps à des activités qui vous apportent plaisir et satisfaction, comme les passe-temps, les voyages et le temps passé avec votre famille. Conclusion Contrairement à ce que propose Napoléon Hill, le succès ne nécessite pas de sacrifices personnels ni d'épuisement. Il est possible d'atteindre ses objectifs professionnels et d'avoir une vie personnelle dynamique , à condition de rechercher un équilibre entre les différents domaines de sa vie. Donnez la priorité à votre bien-être physique, mental et émotionnel. Consacrez du temps aux personnes que vous aimez et aux activités qui vous procurent du plaisir. C'est la clé d'un succès véritable et durable. En savoir beaucoup plus...

Download or read book Policies and Practices for Mental Health in Europe written by and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2008 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This WHO report co-funded by the European Commission gives an overview of policies and practices for mental health in 42 Member States of the European Region. A large majority of countries have made significant progress over the past few years, and several are world leaders in mental health promotion, mental disorder prevention activities, service reform and human rights. Nevertheless, this report also identifies weaknesses in Europe, some systematic, such as a lack of consensus on definitions, and of compatible data collection, and others such as the need for development and investment across several areas. It identifies gaps in information where further work must be done, and is a baseline against which progress can be measured towards the vision and the milestones of the Mental Health Declaration for Europe. The data were obtained from the ministries of health of 42 European Member States. Over 150 figures and tables in the report demonstrate the diversity across the European Region, and allow country to country comparisons of indicators such as numbers of psychiatrists, financing, community services, training of the workforce, the prescription of anti-depressants and representation of users and carers.

Download or read book Painted Love written by Hollis Clayson and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engrossing book, Hollis Clayson provides the first description and analysis of French artistic interest in women prostitutes, examining how the subject was treated in the art of the 1870s and 1880s by such avant-garde painters as Cézanne, Degas, Manet, and Renoir, as well as by the academic and low-brow painters who were their contemporaries. Clayson not only illuminates the imagery of prostitution-with its contradictory connotations of disgust and fascination-but also tackles the issues and problems relevant to women and men in a patriarchal society. She discusses the conspicuous sexual commerce during this era and the resulting public panic about the deterioration of social life and civilized mores. She describes the system that evolved out of regulating prostitutes and the subsequent rise of clandestine prostitutes who escaped police regulation and who were condemned both for blurring social boundaries and for spreading sexual licentiousness among their moral and social superiors. Clayson argues that the subject of covert prostitution was especially attractive to vanguard painters because it exemplified the commercialization and the ambiguity of modern life.

Download or read book Your Mindful Compass written by Andrea Maloney Schara and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.

This publication presents theoretical information, methods and resources for education and training activities, along with concrete exercises that users can put into practice in their daily work. Violence is a serious issue which directly affects the lives of many young people. It often results in lasting damage to their well-being and integrity, putting even their lives at risk. Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected. Gender really does matter, to women, to men, to young people - to all of us. This manual serves to explore these human rights issues and act upon them."--Book jacket.

Download or read book Mental Illnesses written by Luciano LAbate and published by IntechOpen. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book "Mental Illnesses - Evaluation, Treatments and Implications" attention is focused on background factors underlying mental illness. It is crucial that mental illness be evaluated thoroughly if we want to understand its nature, predict its long-term outcome, and treat it with specific rather than generic treatment, such as pharmacotherapy for instance. Additionally, community-wide and cognitive-behavioral approaches need to be combined to decrease the severity of symptoms of mental illness. Unfortunately, those who should profit the most by combination of treatments, often times refuse treatment or show poor adherence to treatment maintenance. Most importantly, what are the implications of the above for the mental health community? Mental illness cannot be treated with one single form of treatment. Combined individual, community, and socially-oriented treatments, including recent distance-writing technologies will hopefully allow a more integrated approach to decrease mental illness world-wide.
