Women's Guide to Well-Being

Women are twice as likely as men to experience the symptoms of depression. 'Women's Guide To Well-Being' is designed to prevent and address this monumental challenge. The handbook focuses on ways to enhance women's well-being in a train-the-trainers model. Women in communities can teach themselves and each other the fundamentals of well-being, so necessary in parts of the world where resources are scarce. Janice Wood Wetzel, MSW, PhD, is recognized internationally as an expert on global mental health, particularly as it relates to women. In this handbook, she focuses on four major personal and cultural terms from both negative and positive perspectives: Aloneness, Connectedness, Action, and Perception.
