	WHO Guideline on self-care interventions for health and well-being, 2022 revision: executive summary World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO View PDF(11) Download (14) Add to my MEDBOX A global shortage of an estimated 18 million health workers is anticipated by 2030, a record 130 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, and there is the global threat of pandemics such as COVID-19. At least 400 million people worldwide lack access to the most essential health services, and every year 100 million people are plunged into poverty because they have to pay for healthcare out of their own pockets. There is, therefore, an urgent need to find innovative strategies that go beyond the conventional health-sector response Tags: self-care, social wellbeing, Healthcare workers, Mental Health, burnout, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
	Self-help Plus (SH+) World Health Organization WHO (2021) CC View PDF(37) Download (39) Add to my MEDBOX A group-based stress managment course for adults. Self-Help Plus (SH+) is WHO’s 5-session stress management course for large groups of up to 30 people. It is delivered by supervised, non-specialist facilitators who complete a short training course and use pre-recorded audio and an illustrated guide (Doing What Matters in Times of Stress) to teach stress management skills. The course is suitable for adults who experiences stress, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances. It has been shown to reduce psychological distress and prevent the onset of mental disorders. The format of SH+ makes it well-suited for use alongside other mental health interventions, as a first step in a stepped care programme, or as a community intervention delivered alongside broader community programming.
