"Mental Health Nursing is a rapidly changing and growing area of healthcare that can be challenging and dynamic to work within. This book aims to help Mental Health professionals consider their own skills, their development needs and wellbeing as well as exploring the latest clinical research within the field and what this means for the clients we care for and support. Through the use of discussion, vignettes and activity suggestions, this book aims to improve attitudes and understanding of healthcare professionals throughout their career from first embarking on a training course to being an experienced Mental Health Nurse. The majority of Mental Health Nursing books focus on clinical skills or are condition focussed. Many don't encompass the need to focus on the wellbeing of the Mental Health Professional within the same context. This text will provide a 360 view of what it means to be a Mental Health Nurse and how to be a resilient, positive and proactive professional. Ensuring our own wellbeing and resilience is crucial to providing excellent quality care and so within this book we will look at the key topics from all angles"-- Provided by publisher.
