Publisher's Synopsis
Mental health peer counselling refers to a form of help that is rendered based on the principle that a peer, or a member of a group is in the best position to educate, influence behaviour and effect change among people with whom specific traits, identities or characterstics are shared. From childhood to adulthood to old age, we have always found ourselves in situations where we had to render various forms of support our friends, siblings, school mates, classmates, fellow parents, co-wokers, and a host of others. This book is a compilation of information that will aid you in doing what you are already doing. You will learn about common mental health issues and ways of providing relevant psychosocial support to those in need, as they journey to attain optimal mental well-being.
