Article: Lessons to be learned from the oldest community psychiatric service in the world: Geel in Belgium by Henck P. J. G. van Bilsen
I. All helping professionals need to be ready to ask for help for family members, friends, and possibly, patients. If someone you know was in a serious mental health struggle, who would you call? Take a few minutes to search online for crisis resources. Write up your findings for your post.
II. Next, take a few minutes to describe the mental health care in Geel, Belgium. Are there programs similar to that in Geel in the U.S.? (use article above to answer this question)
III. Imagine you are working as a health coach and you have a client who has been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, what therapeutic approach would you recommend? For PTSD? For an Anxiety Disorder?
IV. Pick a mind-body practice and find one study where it was used to treat anxiety, depression, insomnia, or another mental health disorder. Describe the study and its findings (include a reference).
