Description
Understanding mental breakdown and finding ways to help others is crucial for those in mental health services. This book introduces the Comprehend, Cope and Connect approach, developed within these services, to provide a practical solution.
The CCC approach starts with an individual's inner experience, normalizing mental breakdown, before offering ways to support people out of distress and impaired functioning. It is based on cognitive science and provides a rationale for putting mindfulness at the heart of the solution.
With three illustrative case histories, this book offers a realistic insight into both the individual's experience and the workings of the system. It will help mental health professionals identify what people in their organization or care are going through.
