The book introduces the idea of values-based practice in mental health. It sets out the skills practitioners need to learn to be aware of values, to know how to explore them and to help to resolve any tensions around them. Values-based practice gives mental health staff the skills they need to get below the surface and to build better relationships with their clients and with each other. It helps them to negotiate conflicts of values and to see diversity as an asset to be used rather than a problem to get over. This resource is for continuing professional development and for working with the National Institute for Mental Health in England's 'Framework of Values for Mental Health'.
