From the Back Cover
A Concise Introduction to Mental Health in Canada offers a unique contribution to the mental health literature. It covers a full spectrum of topics on mental health and illness in Canada, incorporating insights from both the physical and social sciences to expand readers’ understanding of the field and related concepts. Interdisciplinary and reader friendly, this book introduces students to a wide range of subjects, including mental health among children, youth, and older adults, approaches to strengthening mental health and treating mental illness, and discusses the role of culture, gender and sexuality, substance use, and trauma in mental health experiences and outcomes.
This third edition is thoroughly updated to respond to social, legal, and political changes that have occurred since the previous edition, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid (drug poisoning) crisis, the legalization of cannabis, and changes to provincial Mental Health Acts. There are new chapters on trauma and the criminal justice system and mental health legislation, as well as expanded content on the social determinants of health and mental health among Indigenous peoples and communities.
Exploring fundamental concepts using the latest scientific evidence, this engaging text provides a superb grounding for students of health studies, nursing, medicine, social work, psychology, and sociology.
