Why ”Evidence-Based” Methods are Important?
Evidence Based Treatment (EBT) means that studies have been conducted and extensive research has been documented on a particular treatment, and it has proven to be successful.
The goal of EBT is to encourage the use of safe and effective treatments likely to achieve results and lessen the use of unproven, potentially unsafe treatments.
What is Emotional Well-being?
Emotional Well-being is being aware of and understanding your emotions. It is a positive state of well-being and functioning (including behaviour, emotion, social skills and overall mental health) which allows you to be an active part of society and meet the demands of everyday life.
As well as being aware of and identifying emotions, emotional well-being is how we think about those emotions and act on them. There is also a strong link between emotional well-being and physical health.
Why is Emotional Well-being Important?
Being aware of your emotional wellbeing is important as this can help you to know when to seek help if there is a change which will help to prevent it from getting worse. Good emotional wellbeing can also help to create better abilities for coping and increase self-esteem and productivity.
Lack of emotional wellbeing can not only lead to poor mental health, it can also lead poor physical health and be a risk factor for such things as chronic disease.
Prevention and Mental Health Disorders.
About 450 million people suffer from mental and behavioural disorders worldwide (WHO,2004) . One person in four will develop one or more of these disorders during their lifetime. Neuropsychiatric conditions account for 13% of the total Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost due to all diseases and injuries in the world and are estimated to increase to 15% by the year 2020 (WHO,2004). Five of the ten leading causes of disability and premature death worldwide are psychiatric conditions.
Mental disorders represent not only an immense psychological, social and economic burden to society, but also increase the risk of physical illnesses (WHO,2004).
Defining Family Dynamics
Family Dynamics
Family dynamics are the patterns of relating, or interactions, between family members. Each family system and its dynamics are unique, although there are some common patterns.
All families have some helpful and some unhelpful dynamics.
Even where there is little or no present contact with family, a young person will have been influenced by dynamics in earlier years. Family dynamics often have a strong influence on the way young people see themselves, others and the world, and influence their relationships, behaviours and their well-being.
An understanding of the impact of family dynamics on a young person’s self-perception may help workers pinpoint and respond to the driving forces behind a young person’s current needs.
