Published monthly, by Mark Allen Group, the magazine is “ideal for all practitioners no matter what the age range of their clients.”
According to distributors COMAG, “BJW is the only UK monthly whose sole focus is to promote a positive, interdisciplinary approach to mental health and wellbeing.
BJW showcases innovations in practice, offering practical solutions and case studies. The latest theory and evidence is presented in an accessible way and applicable to practice. Contributors are respected practitioners and professionals who are foremost in their fields.
Promoting modern, progressive and positive approaches, BJW reflects the ever-increasing scope of disciplines in the field of mental health, with content relevant to practitioners, carers and service providers. BJW will interest psychiatric nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, psychological wellbeing practitioners, high-intensity psychological therapists, GPs with a special interest in mental health, community nurses, health and fitness trainers, social workers, educationalists, commissioners and service providers in the third or private sectors.
The mental and physical health of individuals are inseparable and BJW addresses ways in which practitioners can support people to take greater care of their own mental and physical needs. Each issue has topical and challenging news analysis and feature articles, peer-reviewed articles on wellbeing theory and practice by clinicians and researchers in the field, as well as book reviews, jobs and courses. BJW also offers a forum for discussion and debate on professional concerns.
The launch issue of BJW includes features on mental health in Haiti; early intervention in psychosis; finding a musical path to better self-esteem; and a project with Blackburn Rovers Football Club to reintegrate people into their local communities.
BJW Editor Ian McMillan, RMN, RNMH, BSc (Hons), PG Dip Sociology, has a background in mental health nursing and more than 20 years’ experience in healthcare journalism. He was Editor of Mental Health Practice for more than 11 years.”
