Abstract

Summary:

Most people accessing mental health and addiction services have experienced trauma. For those working in community services, treatment agencies and hospitals, providing "trauma-informed care" requires an understanding of the effects of trauma, and of how to create programs, spaces and policies that place priority on trauma survivors' safety, choice and control. Becoming Trauma Informed describes trauma-informed practice at the individual, organizational and systemic levels. This multi-authored collection brings together the voices of those who have integrated trauma-informed principles into various mental health and addiction treatment and social service environments, and of the diverse groups with which they work. Becoming Trauma Informed is an important resource for those who are working, or who are planning to work as addiction and mental health practitioners and program and system planners.

Abstract

"Coping with cancer is hard. It is an emotional ordeal as well as a physical one, with known and somewhat predictable psychological responses. And yet, patients often feel isolated and alone when dealing with the stress, anxiety, depression, and existential crises so typical with a cancer diagnosis. The Big Ordeal, written in collaboration with a psychologist and two oncologists, tackles the emotional side of the experience head-on, to help newly diagnosed patients and their loved ones anticipate, understand, and deal with the psychological turmoil ahead. Based on interviews with scores of patients and experts across a variety of fields, combining patient stories with medical insights and advice from those who have been there, and structured around the typical phases of the process, this book is an accessible resource for anyone who receive a cancer diagnosis" --Back cover

Abstract

In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Kirk Austin explores seven elements that contribute to human buoyancy. Using the acronym BREATHE, the book explores the concepts of Bravery, Resilience, Endurance, Acceptance, Tenacity, Hope, and Excellence.

Written for parents, adult-helpers, and educators, Buoyancy: Building Resilient Kids explores how to help kids build the skills related to human flourishing. The book examines seven stories of real people who exemplified an element of BREATHE. It goes further in providing examples and exercises to build the skills necessary to stay buoyant. It is a helpful and practical addition to any social and emotional learning curriculum." --Back cover
