Globalisation and its associated demands for competitiveness are increasing the pressures in our working lives. Added to this are the demands from education, evolving family structures and increased care responsibilities, both for children and for older relatives. Increased life expectancy in most industrialized nations means that ever-greater numbers of people will be at risk of degenerative disorders in older age. Mental health and wellbeing literacy have never been more important as establishing early personal resilience strategies and early intervention is the key to reducing risk.
