Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2021-037/ The report provides an overview and short systematic review of the psychosocial interventions and psychological tests used in the Nordic countries during the first 1000 days of a child’s life, i.e. from the prenatal period until two years of age. A total of 63 interventions and 33 tests were reviewed. Findings reveal that, although a large number of interventions and tests are available for the target groups in the Nordic countries, evidence regarding their effectiveness or psychometric properties is often lacking or insufficient. Thus, it is important that research efforts be enhanced in the Nordic region to strengthen the evidence-base of the interventions and instruments that practitioners rely upon in order to assess and support mental wellbeing for Nordic children and families during this critical period in their lives.
Cyberbullying is one of the darker and more troubling aspects to the growing accessibility of new media technologies. Children in developed countries engage with cyberspace at younger and younger ages, and the use of the internet as a means to bully and harass has been greeted with alarm by educationalists, parents, the media, and governments. This important new book is the result of a four-year international collaboration, funded by the EU, to better understand how we can cope and confront cyberbullying, and how new media technologies can be used to actually support the victims of such abuse. The articles initially define the historical and theoretical context to cyberbullying, before exami...

Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2022-006/ The First 1000 Days in the Nordic Countries is a three-year Nordic collaborative project that aims to support mental health and wellbeing during the first years of life. This report applies findings from the project's two earlier reports to propose policy recommendations to better support children’s mental health and wellbeing during the early years. Nordic governments are encouraged to: Recognize the importance of the first 1000 days of life for lifelong mental health and wellbeing; Provide comprehensive support for parents during children’s first 1000 days of life; Identify and respond systematically to risk factors early in life; Improve equity and quality in services for young children and their families; Strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration for the benefit of young children and their families; and Advance research, knowledge and understanding about the first 1000 days of life.
A multidisciplinary collection on global public entity strategic communication Research into public sector communication investigates the interaction between public and governmental entities and citizens within their sphere of influence. Today’s public sector organizations are operating in environments where people receive their information from multiple sources. Although modern research demonstrates the immense impact public entities have on democracy and societal welfare, communication in this context is often overlooked. Public sector organizations need to develop “communicative intelligence” in balancing their institutional agendas and aims of public engagement. The Handbook of Pub...
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2020-051/ The First 1000 Days in the Nordic Countries is a Nordic collaborative project, launched as part of the 2019 Icelandic Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers, with the aim to support healthy emotional development and good mental health during the first 1000 days of life (from conception to the age of two). The first phase involved a situation analysis in which extensive data was gathered from across the Nordic countries about practices to support wellbeing and identify early risk factors in prenatal care, infant and child healthcare and early childhood education and care. The results are presented in this report with detailed country profiles and a comparison across countries. Significant strengths and challenges are identified when it comes to supporting young children's wellbeing within the Nordic region and examples of good practice from each participating country are offered.
In this book, Yuxia Qian and Rukhsana Ahmed explore health acculturation, which they argue is a complex, multidimensional communication process involving concerted efforts from migrants, health professionals, researchers, community members, policymakers, and the media, rather than a unidimensional process synonymous with assimilation. Qian and Ahmed examine individual migrant health acculturation experiences, community-based culturally-centered health interventions, and cross-cultural health promotion and campaigns. Ultimately, this book unpacks the complexity surrounding the health acculturation process through different theoretical frameworks and cross-cultural applications in a range of communication contexts, including the interpersonal, family, community, organizational, and media.
This groundbreaking first volume of the Series has a number of features that set it apart from other books on this subject: Firstly, it focuses on interpersonal, humanistic and ecological views and approaches to P/MH nursing. Secondly, it highlights patient/client-centered approaches and mental-health-service user involvement. Lastly, it is a genuinely European P/MH nursing textbook – the first of its kind – largely written by mental health scholars from Europe, although it also includes contributions from North America and Australia/New Zealand. Focusing on clinical/practical issues, theory and empirical findings, it adopts an evidence-based or evidence-informed approach. Each contribution presents the state-of-the-art of P/MH nursing in Europe so that it can be transferred to and implemented by P/MH nurses and the broader mental health care community around the globe. As such, it will be the first genuinely 21st century European Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing book.
Milloin ihmisen mieli on vapaa? Mikä mielen vapautta rajoittaa? Mitä uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaus tarkoittaa tilanteissa, joissa ihminen päätyy psykiatriseen hoitoon poikkeuksellisten uskomustensa ja kokemustensa vuoksi? Miten ihmiseen lyöty hullun leima vaikuttaa siihen, miten hänen elämää ja uskoa koskeviin pohdintoihinsa suhtaudutaan? "Vapaa mieli: uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaus mielenterveyden järkkyessä" kokoaa ja tiivistää sosiaalieetikko Mari Stenlundin tutkimustyötä. Kirja on toteutunut Stenlundin ja mielenterveyden kokemusasiantuntijoiden yhteistyönä. Stenlundin artikkeleiden kanssa vuorottelevat kokemusasiantuntijoiden kirjoitukset, joissa kirjoittajat kuvaavat omia näkemyksiään ja kokemuksiaan uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaudesta. "Kun haluamme ymmärtää uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapautta, on käännyttävä marginaalin puoleen. On kohdattava ihmisyyden koko kirjo, jotta voimme käsittää, mikä ihmisoikeuksissa on kaikkein keskeisintä." (Mari Stenlund)
