The library contains a wealth of information that can help us to understand and reflect on what is important in developing and sustaining a Whole Person, Whole Life, Whole Community, Whole System movement.
We want to capture the latest and most relevant knowledge base from around the world and share this with each other.
Therefore the library provides members with a valuable resource. This will keep us informed of the best practice and the latest developments in changing the way we think about and act in meeting the needs of people with mental health issues.
Each section includes:
Introduction to issue or topic
Publications
Practice and Research
Videos and Presentations
Relevant Organisations
Links
We rely on your support and input to ensure the library is kept up to date and is as comprehensive as possible. You will notice that some of sections are in development and we would especially welcome any contributions you know of (publications, links etc) that could be added to these. However we would also appreciate any materials andd resources that you think would enrich any of the sections of the library
