A welcome and important contribution to a thankfully growing
debate. Mental illness remains in some ways the last great taboo in
our society, a taboo which leads directly to stigma and
discrimination which for some can be even worse than the symptoms
of their illness. This book in part is about encouraging men who
have reached crisis point to seek help. Equally it's about
prevention, and sets out some of the excellent work being done on
that. I hope it can inspire practitioners and policy makers to
initiate similar interventions, develop new ones and lift the
promotion of men's mental health much higher up the agenda, both in
the UK and abroad.A" - From the Foreword by Alastair Campbell Men -
in all their diverse groups, settings, lifestyles and stages of
life - can face considerable challenges to their mental wellbeing
from specific cultural and societal factors, causing difficulties
for themselves and those who live and work with them. In addition,
these men may respond better to certain approaches and treatment.
Promoting Men's Mental Health outlines the breadth of the
challenges and provides guidance for those working in primary care
on targeting and helping men who need support. Good mental health
is more than the absence of mental illness, and this book therefore
highlights methods to promote positive mental health by increasing
psychological wellbeing, competency and coping skills, and by
creating supportive living and working environments The book
highlights examples of best practice throughout the UK, Europe and
America, and will be essential reading for primary care and mental
health professionals, and all those with an interest in men's
mental health. 'We need to be more innovative in the way we try to
reach men. This book will help stimulate further discussion and
hopefully encourage men to seek help or support.' From the Foreword
by Louis Appleby
