The book also throws light on sensitive and beneficial topics such as experiences of a mother of an autistic child and the strengthening of LGBTQIA+ mental health through personal growth initiatives.
It is valuable reading for researchers, mental health practitioners, policymakers, and educators to learn about the most recent developments, concerns, and real-world difficulties encountered, and solutions taken in the mental health field following COVID-19, as well as offering implementable methods for replication.
