“…Mental health treatments include the nonmedical approach of psychotherapy, such as reality therapy, gestalt therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy and solution-focused brief therapy. Other than that, the treatment also includes mental health counselling and psychoeducation [ 16 ].

Despite the effectiveness of text messaging therapy in improving mental health conditions, limited attention has been paid to how the text messages are constructed. Thus, this study questions whether there is a need to develop a model of text message construction for mental health therapy. In this backdrop, this study reviews how a text message for mental health therapy is constructed, specifically focused on the process and guidelines. This study also aims to identify the research gap regarding the guideline of text message construction for mental health therapy and to identify mental health professionals’ practices in text messaging therapy. In addition, the opinions of mental health professionals on the need to develop a text message construction guideline were also gathered. The findings from the literature review confirmed that there are still limited guidelines explaining the process of constructing text messages for mental health therapy. Meanwhile, results from the online survey found that mental health professionals expressed a high need to explore and develop a model of text message construction for mental health therapy. With this research gap addressed, this study proposes further research into the development of a text message construction model for mental health therapy.

“…From a developmental, wellness perspective, pathology can be re-conceptualized as resulting from developmental challenges (Ivey, Ivey, Myers, & Sweeney, 2004;Myers et al, 2000) and can be examined from a continuum of mental health rather than mental illness issues (Palmo et al, 2001). Viewed from a wellness paradigm rather than an illness paradigm, while the objective circumstances of poverty lifestyles do not change, the potential for prevention of serious, negative mental health consequences through early interventions and strengths-based assessments and counseling (Myers et al, 2001) emerges as a clear possibility.…”

Abstract:The feminization of poverty has been well documented, and the relationship between the experiences of poverty and negative mental health outcomes has been identified. These consequences remain largely unexamined for women living in rural areas that comprise a population both at risk and underserved by mental health professionals. The dynamics of poverty for these women and the relationship between poverty lifestyles and physical and mental well-being is explored. A model for assessment and mental health interventions is presented. Implications for mental health counseling and for research are considered.
