Four Circles Of Mental Health
- Mental health problems come from biological, psychological, social, and spiritual causes.
- Treating the brain (not just symptoms) clarifies cause and guides more effective solutions.
Focus On Brain Health, Not Labels
- Avoid diagnostic labels for children; focus on optimizing brain health and strengths.
- Use targeted, individualized interventions rather than stigmatizing terms from the DSM.
Use HALT To Prevent Relapse
- Prevent relapses with HALT: don't get too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.
- Clarify what you want in life and ask whether behaviors help or hurt that goal.
