Mental health is like a journey with many winding roads. Like any voyage, its terrain can be difficult to navigate, and it’s full of unexpected turns, bumps along the way, and moments of clarity.
Despite the abundance of research and resources devoted to mental health, it is often still ignored or even stigmatized. This is especially true in more traditional or conservative communities and societies where mental health issues are not openly discussed. Unfortunately, these attitudes can lead to a lack of understanding and perpetuation of stigma surrounding mental illness. This can cause individuals to suffer in silence, believing that it is not acceptable to talk about their struggles.
This book seeks to change this outlook by giving readers a comprehensive overview of the complexities of mental health and why discussing it openly is essential for making progress. Through the lens of social prescribing, readers will learn how evidence-based strategies are being used to better support patients’ mental health needs. Not only will readers gain knowledge and understanding, but they will also be provided with a compassionate roadmap for their journey ahead.
It is time to break the stigma surrounding mental health and start talking about it openly. This book is here to provide insight and support for those on the journey of mental health. By understanding how social prescribing works, readers will gain insight into how this powerful tool can help those living with chronic mental illness and will be empowered with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their own mental health care.
