“…Those who are not connected either to school or family will need special efforts by community organizations. 43 In all settings, we need to increase our ability to recognize problems-whether they are developmental, social or emotional delays in infancy or severe mental illness in teenagers and young adults-as they first emerge. 45 Classroom sessions use an interactive, youth-friendly approach to enable students to recognize the signs of depression, substance abuse and suicidal behaviour, and to know what they can do to get help for themselves or for friends.…”

“…Over the past two decades, prevention has become a public health priority in mental health (Chen et al, 2014;Gillberg & Fernell, 2014;Holz et al, 2014;Roberts et al, 2014;Underwood, 2011;Waddekk, McEwan, Peters, Hua, & Garland, 2007). Prevention of behavioral disturbances associated with aging and dementia, however, receives little attention, even though they occur so frequently (Kunik et al, 2010).…”

Dementia and Alzheimer's disease are associated with behavioral symptoms that can be costly and troublesome to caregivers. Behavioral strategies to prevent aggression in people with dementia (PWDs) are necessary to decrease caregiver burden and relieve other behavioral disturbances in PWDs, such as depression. On the basis of their previous study that identified pain as a possible cause of aggression, the authors developed a behavioral in-home intervention designed to teach caregiver(s) how to recognize signs of pain and distress in PWDs. The authors present a description of the Preventing Aggression in Veterans with Dementia (PAVeD) intervention and illustrate its use and results with three case studies. Results indicate that this intervention may help prevent the development of aggression and pain in PWDs, reduce caregiver burden, and help manage other behavioral symptoms associated with dementia.

Personal recovery is an overarching goal that underpins mental health community support and clinical services in Canada. Surprisingly, little information is available about the personal recovery needs of community-dwelling Canadians with mental illness. The purpose of this study is to describe these needs in a sample of adults living in a large urban centre. We performed a multi-site cross-sectional survey of adults who receive community-based mental health services in an urban setting. Participants were asked to complete six patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures about personal recovery, hope, mastery, and depression. We used descriptive and correlational analyses to summarize the data according to an established evidence-based theoretical conceptualization of recovery. Two hundred and twenty-eight individuals participated in the study. Participants indicated high levels of self-reported empowerment and hope and optimism about the future. In contrast, participants reported low levels of perceived connectedness, identity, and meaning in life. In conclusion, this study identified that recovery-oriented PRO measures can improve our understanding of the needs and goals of individuals with mental illness and highlight the ways in which individuals can achieve a sense of meaning in life. Understanding the recovery needs of Canadians with mental illness may help foster recovery-oriented healthcare by bringing person-centred approaches to the point of treatment, so as to ensure greater quality and accountability of mental health services.
