"The fifteen authors and nine artists in this volume bring us beautiful, speculative stories of disability and mental illness in the future. Teeming with space pirates, battle robots, interstellar travel and genetically engineered creatures, every story and image is a quality, crafted work of science fiction in its own right, as thrilling and fascinating as it is worthy and important. These are stories about people with disabilities in all of their complexity and diversity, that scream with passion and intensity. These are stories that refuse to go gently."

Abstract
Another Twinkle in the Eye is an essential guide for anyone contemplating another pregnancy after perinatal mental illness. The decision to bring a child into the world is rarely one that is taken lightly. When a previous pregnancy and early parenthood has resulted in poor maternal and/or paternal perinatal mental health, making a conscious decision to have another baby can be even more challenging.
This unique book provides facts, resources, and discussion points to support people in making informed and comfortable decisions. It is also an essential resource for health professionals who support or are involved in the decision-making process of couples planning another pregnancy.
The author combines personal experience with real-life stories from other parents. Also included are contributions from healthcare professionals. The book offers comprehensive coverage across five key areas: Reflection on the previous pregnancy, miscarriage or stillbirth, Decisions to be made when considering another pregnancy, Ways to plan for and to have a healthier experience, The role of healthcare professionals and facilities, and Self-help and complementary techniques for good mental health in the perinatal period.

Elle a tout le temps les larmes aux yeux, il se vexe pour un rien, a souvent mal au ventre ou ne veut plus aller à l?école, la vie est pour elle un drame permanent...
Colère, tristesse, joie prennent chez votre enfant des proportions démesurées et l?affectif tient une place énorme dans sa vie ? Il ou elle est sans doute hypersensible? Un petit être à fleur de peau, fragile et déconcertant pour ses parents tour à tour inquiets ou exaspérés !
Emmanuelle Rigon, psychologue clinicienne et psychothérapeute, auteure notamment de Papa, maman, j?y arriverai jamais, montre qu?il existe cinq formes d?hypersensibilité très variables dans leur expression. En s?appuyant sur de nombreux exemples, elle aide les parents à comprendre leur enfant et à le soutenir afin qu?il tire profit de ce qui est souvent aussi le signe d?une grande intelligence émotionnelle. Car, source de créativité et de capacités relationnelles précieuses, une hypersensibilité apprivoisée peut devenir un véritable atout dans la vie !

Abstract
En prenant appui sur l'analyse individuelle et collective d'une situation de maintien dans l'emploi dans une administration publique, cet ouvrage soulève les enjeux liés à l'inclusion socioprofessionnelle des personnes en situation de handicap du fait d'altérations psychiques, mentales et cognitives. Pour l'employeur public, historiquement engagé en faveur de l'emploi des personnes en situation de handicap, de nouvelles questions se posent. Dans ce contexte de diversité des situations de handicap, les aménagements de poste et les démarches d'intégration dans l'emploi relèvent de registres nouveaux. Il ne s'agit plus d'avoir une vision techniciste et objectivante du handicap mais bien de se laisser interpeller par la dimension environnementale et profondément subjective de situations de handicap qui se vivent plus qu'elles ne se décrivent. L'enjeu sociétal sous-jacent est celui de la reconnaissance des compétences des personnes et de leurs capacités à s'inscrire dans le monde du travail en opposition à une identité professionnelle centrée sur les déficiences et les limitations. Des mesures d'aides aux employeurs publics existent. Des dispositifs d'accompagnement également. De réels enjeux liés à la connaissance et la compréhension fine des mécanismes de compensation pertinents et de dispositifs innovants d'accompagnement des équipes voient le jour. Cela ne pourra cependant se faire sans un important travail de refonte de la gestion des ressources humaines dans la fonction publique et de lutte contre la stigmatisation.

Abstract
"As parents, we worry about our children - about their physical health, performance at school, the types of friends they have, and, of course, their mental health. Every day seems to bring new and expanding issues and disorders and troubling statistics about the rise of mental illness in children and teens. It's usually obvious what to do for physical injuries like broken bones, but when it comes to our children's mental health, the answers are much less clear, and sometimes even contradictory.
"Pier Bryden and Peter Szatmari, top child and adolescent psychiatrists, are here to help. Using their combined six decades working with families and kids - and their own experiences as parents - they break down the stigma of mental health illness and walk parents through the warning signs, risk factors, prevention strategies, and the process of diagnosis and treatment for mental health challenges arising from: anxiety, substance use disorders, eating disorders, sleep disorders, depression, trauma, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, psychosis, ADHD, and autism.
"The most important thing to remember as a parent is that you and your child are not alone and there is a lot you can do to improve your child's mental health. The road ahead isn't always easy or straightforward, but start here to learn how to advocate for your child's well-being"--from the inside front cover.

Après le succès de Ton Petit Look - Guide pour une vie adulte (genre) épanouie, les soeurs Stratis nous reviennent avec un deuxième recueil de textes inédits, touchants et mordants. Cette fois, les célèbres blogueuses se concentrent sur la santé mentale, un sujet qui leur tient particulièrement à coeur. Grâce à des récits infiniment personnels qui mettent à mal les tabous et à des textes contenant des informations ultra-pratiques (mais trop rarement véhiculées), les auteures ouvrent les rideaux et proposent une réflexion sur plusieurs aspects de la santé mentale, tels que son impact sur le quotidien et les relations humaines. Cet ouvrage magnifiquement illustré est rédigé sous le ton de la confidence entre copines (#LaVibeTPL) qui a fait la renommée de Ton Petit Look (TPL), tant sur le Web qu'en librairie.

Abstract
Les prévisions de l'Organisation mondiale pour la Santé s'avèrent fort pessimistes en ce qui concerne les problèmes de santé mentale pour les prochaines décennies. Dépressions, troubles bipolaires, troubles d'anxiété, schizophrénie, troubles de la personnalité font partie d'un langage qui fait, hélas, désormais partie de notre quotidien. Il y a bien des façons de réagir devant cette situation. Vivant lui-même avec un diagnostic de trouble bipolaire depuis plusieurs années, Richard Langlois préfère insister sur l'espoir et le rétablissement. Il croit à la prévention et s'implique dans la lutte contre la stigmatisation.

Abstract
Utilisée depuis de nombreuses années, l?autoactivation est une stratégie efficace pour traiter la dépression. Des recherches scientifiques ont montré que l?autoactivation diminue les sentiments dépressifs de façon significative. À travers les exercices qui lui sont proposés ici, la personne dépressive est amenée à se réengager activement dans sa vie de façon progressive, tout en douceur, étape par étape. Au moment qui lui convient et à son propre rythme, elle détermine les sphères de sa vie où elle peut intervenir et trouve la façon d'apporter des changements précis qui l?aideront à surmonter son humeur dépressive. Comprenant plus clairement la nature de la maladie, elle agit concrètement pour se sentir mieux et s?accomplir davantage. La démarche proposée dans ce guide constitue un ajout de grande valeur à la psychothérapie ainsi qu'un précieux outil de prévention.
