Articles

Sub-optimal mental health, including unresolved trauma, exacts a great toll on people. Conversely, resilience protects people from many problems. A major focus of Dr. Schiraldi’s articles has been to show that mental health can be improved, even in already high-functioning individuals. Well-trained mental health professionals are critical resources for people in crises. However, there is a great need for greater psychological self-reliance and the prevention of stress-related mental disorders. This need can be largely addressed through the acquisition of practical coping and resilience skills. These articles shed light on mental health and resilience, and how these can be improved.
