Case studies of practical aspects of project development and delivery from different countries are included in order to illustrate the real life application of programmes.

Reviews

"How to do and deliver mental health promotion...Much more valuable is the inclusion of a comprehensive range of programmes from the peer-reviewed literature, with examples from many different countries in many different settings...The authors have provided a context for thinking about practice, rather than a series of interventions"
