Psychosocial support and self-care Martha Wirtenberger

This book is about psychosocial support for communities, individuals, teams and based on my experiences from coordinating mental health activities in Cox´s Bazar, Bangladesh. It has been my deep joy and honor to work alongside with professionals, volunteers and the beneficiaries and train as well as coordinate it for the camps in Cox´s Bazar. I realized many years back, that self-care and mental health for the well-being of staff is an important issue. In the context of Bangladesh I was able to combine my professional expertise and my personal interest in serving the beneficiaries as well as the professionals working with them. I am happy to share my findings with you, dear readers.
