MH Section representative Martin Gittleman has recommended “Promoting mental health: Concepts, emerging evidence, practice - Full Report.”

The Report aims to bring to life the mental health dimension of health promotion. Like health promotion, mental health promotion involves actions that allow people to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles and create living conditions and environments that support health. This book describes the concepts relating to promotion of mental health, the emerging evidence for effectiveness of interventions and the public health policy and practice implications.
