Mental Health Today... and Tomorrow: Exploring Current and Future Trends in Mental Health Care

This forward thinking, multi-author handbook builds on the first edition of Mental Health Today: A handbook, and expands on a range of current key issues in the field of mental health, it looks at the whole lifespan from approaches to children and young people and well-being within school settings to mental health in later life and ageing, and looks to the future for mental health services - where things are heading and where we want them to go.

Mental Health Today...and Tomorrow: Exploring current and future trends in mental health care provides a comparative view of how things are done around the UK and beyond, explores the role of language used in mental health care and the use of technology, and offers some predictions for the future of services.

This handbook explores the whole lifespan, with chapters examining early interventions and mental health and wellbeing within school settings, mental health in the workplace, and finally the issues faced as people enter later life.Mental Health Today...and Tomorrow has been written in partnership with the Mental Health Foundation.
