These slim and practical handbooks focus on the mental health conditions found commonly in learning situations – among students of all ages, including adults. They address the psychosocial needs of learners and the challenges they face in the learning environment, as well as that of those involved in their teaching or training.
With a simple logical structure and easy-reading style, the information in these books is easily digestible. They aim to enhance learning and teaching by guiding practitioners through the process of critical reflection, using strategies based on case studies and reflective practice-based exercises that apply across mental health, wellbeing, learning, teaching, training and work settings within education, business, community and adult-learning settings.
