Mental health textbook launch at CSU

25 FEBRUARY 2014

A new mental health textbook for nursing and health professionals will be officially launched at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Friday 28 February. Mental Health – A person-centred approach, is co-authored by Ms Denise McGarry, lecturer in mental health at the CSU School of Nursing, Midwifery and Indigenous Health in Bathurst, and Nicholas Procter, Helen Hamer, Rhonda Wilson, and Terry Froggatt. Ms McGarry said, "The book examines the determinants of mental health, and the impact of mental illness on Aboriginal Australians, Maori, migrants and refugees, and the homeless. It also explores how mental illness relates to substance abuse, sexuality and gender, nutrition and behaviour, as well as the affect on children, young people, older people, and those living in rural and regional areas." Mental Health – A person-centred approach is published by Cambridge University Press, and will be launched at 5pm Friday 28 February at the Foundation Room 1, the Centre for Professional Development (building 1285) at CSU in Bathurst. The guest speaker at the launch will be Professor Louise O'Brien, the Professor of Nursing (Mental Health) at the University of Newcastle, and Adjunct Professor at CSU, UNSW, and UWS.
