Mental health is a term used to describe either a level of cognitive or emotional well-being or an absence of a mental disorder. From perspectives of the discipline of positive psychology or holism mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life and procure a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental health is an expression of our emotions and signifies a successful adaptation to a range of demands. The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community". It was previously stated that there was no one "official" definition of mental health. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how "mental health" is defined. Most recently, the field of Global Mental Health has emerged, which has been defined as 'the area of study, research and practice that places a priority on improving mental health and achieving equity in mental health for all people worldwide'.

Q. I work with mental health clients who need activities or skill building activities to help them with their condition. Please provide web sites or book refrences that could hepl them in this area. Asked by Ms. Tweetybird - Sun Jul 13 12:23:45 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. What kind of skills building? I would probably incorporate some behavioral techniques, like social skills training. You can work on building interpersonal relationships...(eye contact, tone of voice, etc) and you can give out little homework assignments. Start small and build their confidence to interact in more anxiety provoking situations. (Ex: have them strike up a conversation with someone at the grocery store...then work their way up to initiating conversation with a stranger, etc) You can practice in therapy and model the behavior. Then, encourage them to practice these skills in real-world settings. This is beneficial for clients who have difficulties in social situations.
