Wellbeing is a much discussed aspect of mental health, yet few books take the time to examine this important idea in depth. This book brings together current thinking on positive psychology and evidence-based research to provide a complete picture of the importance of wellbeing in mental health practice. Exploring childhood today and the issues faced in meeting the needs of children and young people, the book examines the way wellbeing can be improved in a variety of settings. Areas covered include social and emotional aspects of learning, concerns about behaviour, looking at policy development, language and praise. Practical strategies to improve wellbeing are also included, and these encompass meditation, mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, flow and engagement. Encapsulating both theory and practice in this area as other studies have yet to do, this book will be a valuable resource for mental health professionals.
