Complementary Therapies and Mental Health
By:Monika Nygaard
Published on 2008 by VDM Publishing

According to Health Canada, *Approximately 20% of individuals will experience a mental illness during their lifetime, and the remaining 80% will be affected by an illness in family members, friends or colleagues.* New medications and a more holistic approach to empowering people with mental disorders (consumers) and assisting them in gaining life skills through a collaborative approach has helped alleviate many symptoms.

At the same time, many consumers are dissatisfied with conventional treatments and experience adverse side effects from medications.

An increasing number are turning to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to alleviate their internal turmoil.

An integrative approach was found to be the most fair and comprehensive method of increasing choices for consumers in their recovery.

This book, therefore, provides an overview of all the different types of CAM therapies available and their relative effectiveness for treating mental illnesses.

It will be especially useful to consumers, family members, psychiatrists, physicians, social workers, counsellors, therapists, community workers and anyone interested in integrative and alternative healing approaches.

My Suicide Race

My Suicide Race
By:Mark Turnipseed
Published on 2021 by

At the tender age of six, Mark Turnipseed received what he felt was a clear and devastating message: it isn't okay to like other boys, and if you do, you're bound for hell.

His confusion and self-hatred made him determined to become the boy he believed he was supposed to be, but in attempting to live a lie, he descended into a hell of his own making.

In this unflinchingly honest debut memoir, Mark takes us on a harrowing journey as he bounces off the restrictive walls of his closet and plunges into the darkness of drug and alcohol addiction, prostitution, and suicide attempts.

He bravely lets us inside the raw, tragic mind of an addict and sexual trauma survivor whose self-denial threatens to destroy him and everyone who loves him.

After surviving numerous relapses, Mark finally finds a surprising key to saving his own life.

While training for a triathlon, he embraces a fresh commitment to sober strategies that lead to good health, self-acceptance, and authenticity-offering hope for all who struggle with the shame and self-hatred that fuel addictions.

While showing that recovery is possible even for those who struggle for years to reach sobriety, My Suicide Race also unveils the often-unseen links between addiction, suicidal ideation, and the trauma of coming out.

A Practical Guide to Recovery-Oriented Practice: Tools for Transforming Mental Health Care

A Practical Guide to Recovery-Oriented Practice: Tools for Transforming Mental Health Care
By:Larry Davidson
Published on 2008-10-02 by Oxford University Press

This book takes a lofty vision of "recovery" and of "a life in the community" for every adult with a serious mental illness promised by the U.S.

President's 2003 New Freedom Commission on Mental Health and shows the reader what is entailed in making this vision a reality.

Beginning with the historical context of the recovery movement and its recent emergence on the center stage of mental health policy around the world, the authors then clarify various definitions of mental health recovery and address the most common misconceptions of recovery held by skeptical practitioners and worried families.

With this framework in place, the authors suggest fundamental principles for recovery-oriented care, a set of concrete practice guidelines developed in and for the field, a recovery guide model of practice as an alternative to clinical case management, and tools to self-assess the recovery orientation of practices and practitioners.

In doing so, this volume represents the first book to go beyond the rhetoric of recovery to its implementation in everyday practice.

Much of this work was developed with the State of Connecticut's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, helping the state to win a #1 ranking in the recent NAMI report card on state mental health authorities.

Since initial development of these principles, guidelines, and tools in Connecticut, the authors have become increasingly involved in refining and tailoring this approach for other systems of care around the globe as more and more governments, ministry leaders, system managers, practitioners, and people with serious mental illnesses and their families embrace the need to transform mental health services to promote recovery and community inclusion.

If you've wondered what all of the recent to-do has been about with the notion of "recovery" in mental health, this book explains it.

In addition, it gives you an insider's view of the challenges and strategies involved in transforming to recovery and a road map to follow on the first few steps down this exciting, promising, and perhaps long overdue path.
