Countless studies have established a clear link between what we eat and our physical health. Increasing evidence shows that nutrition also plays a crucial role in mental health outcomes.

How Acknowledging, Understanding, and Regulating Your Feelings Can Improve Your Mental Health

Information isn’t inherently good or bad, and narrowly aiming to minimize unpleasant emotions and maximize pleasant ones ignores the research -based fact that the unpleasant emotions can have value too.

Rethinking Employee Resilience

Why Our Current Approach to Worker Burnout is Failing, and How to Fix It

By Dan Pelton

Rethinking Employee Resilience is a practical, evidence-based guide to creating workplaces that invest in their workforce - the backbone of every organization. In an era of institutional collapse, workforce resilience isn’t a luxury - it’s non-negotiable.

Burnout has quietly become the new normal. As trust in institutions crumbles and career stability feels like a relic of the past, organizations face a choice: cling to outdated models or redefine their cultures to prioritize human resilience.

This book challenges the self-help industry’s one-size-fits-all narrative, reframing burnout as a systemic issue embedded within organizational culture. It unfolds in three parts: debunking common burnout myths, redefining employee resilience, and offering tailored “on-ramps” for organizations of all sizes.

Non-Violent Resistance and Neurodiversity

Effective relational support for autistic individuals and people with intellectual disability

By Sophie Doswell

Non-Violent Resistance and Neurodiversity introduces Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) as a parenting approach for neurodiverse families, where one or more members is autistic or has an intellectual disability. These families often face difficulties such as increased levels of distressed behaviour, challenges in emotional regulation, isolation and higher parental stress. NVR is a therapeutic approach that is designed to manage such issues and strengthen relationships through positive authority and without punitive measures. Importantly for neurodiverse families, NVR methods do not depend heavily on the spoken word. NVR is a relatively new intervention and research is ongoing, but results to date have shown its effectiveness in reducing childhood aggression, increasing parental confidence, improving family relationships and managing stress.

Why One-Child Families Matter

By Amy Brown

Around 45% of families in the UK are now one-child families, increasingly by choice but also due to factors outside parents’ control, such as the cost of living, infertility, relationship breakdown and birth trauma. Whatever their circumstances, parents are often told that their child will struggle with friendships, be lonely, or be spoiled, and they may frequently be asked if they are having more children, which can be intrusive and upsetting. Why One-Child Families Matter looks at the evidence surrounding one-child families, showing how childhood experiences and outcomes are complex and shaped by much more than the number of siblings a child has. With strategies to support only children, and contributions from hundreds of one-child families, it reveals the ways that one-child families can thrive.

The Parent Pivot

What to Do When Your Young Adult Is in Psychological Distress

By Lynne Carroll, Paula Jean Gilroy

Emerging adulthood (ages 18–29) is a vulnerable period often marked by anxiety, depression, substance misuse, internet misuse, and risky behaviors. As children enter adulthood, the parenting role must shift. Instead of being a full-time “caretaker,” parents must learn to “pivot” into roles such as “coach,” “wise counsel,” or “compeer” and sometimes return to the “caretaker” role when distress intensifies.

The Parent Pivot provides clear guidance, support, and realistic hope for navigating this stage. Written by psychologists with decades of experience supporting emerging adults and their families, the book offers tools and language parents can begin using right away.

The Essential Guide to Children's Sleep

A Tired Caregiver's Workbook for Every Age and Stage

By Andrea C. Roth, Shelby F. Harris

In this book, clinicians Andrea C. Roth, Allison Shale, and Shelby F. Harris use their experiences as developmental sleep specialists and parents to create a hands-on, user-friendly workbook for parents and caregivers of children from infancy to teenage years, who struggle with sleep. The authors begin with an emphasis on the need to understand the unique circumstances surrounding your child’s sleep issues. A child who struggles to sleep alone due to anxiety and nighttime fears needs a different approach than a child with ADHD and behavioral defiance. Each chapter in this book focuses on children of a specific age group–infants, toddlers, school-age, and teenagers–and examines the most common sleep problems at each age, from difficulties with sleep training, to sleep terrors and nightmares, to defiance and difficult bedtime routines, to the complicated impact of puberty on sleep.

The book explores each stage of the recovery process; from understanding the impact of trauma and building safety and stability, to empathetic interventions and navigating the healthcare system, before offering methods on how to progress through the different stages of recovery.

The consequence is a society where autistic families are unable to access the correct services for their children, increasing risk of family burnout and breakdown. Based on the author's lived experience, this book looks at the different ways blame can manifest and how parents can manage these moments.

How to Save Your Own Life

A guide to recovering from an eating disorder as an autistic person

By Rachel Clark, Leanne Maskell

There are a thousand books about eating disorders, taking everything from gender to age into account. But they have a habit of assuming that youre neurotypical, and that your brain works in a very specific way. Not exactly helpful if yours doesnt! In this essential self-help guide, Rachel Clark shares what shes learned from her own experiences as an autistic and ADHD young person with anorexia, and how you can use it for your own recovery. She explores how eating disorders can be a coping mechanism for the stress of a neurotypical world, and how autism can both create the ideal environment for an eating disorder to develop, but also provide key tools to overcome it.

Female Hormones and ADHD

The Impact on Brain and Body

By Lotta Borg Skoglund, Helena Kopp Kallner

Women and girls with ADHD are often left feeling misunderstood and inadequately supported by health care. This comes as no surprise when research has historically almost exclusively been conducted on boys and men, leading to a lack of understanding around female specific ADHD challenges. For the first time, this book from two experienced doctors and ADHD experts, connects the latest science on ADHD and the influence of sex hormones, to the everyday lives of women and girls with ADHD. Chapters provide vital knowledge on the ADHD brain and female sexual and reproductive development whilst also introducing five fictional women at different hormonal phases of their lives from puberty through to post-menopause to give insight into the lived experience of ADHD.

Cancer, Sex, and Intimacy

A Couple's Guide

By Anne Katz

A practical and compassionate guide to navigating sexual intimacy during and after cancer.

Cancer changes lives but it doesn’t erase the need for intimacy, connection, or sexual expression. In this essential guide, certified sexuality counselor Anne Katz, PhD, RN, offers a compassionate, candid, and evidence-based guide for individuals and couples navigating the often-overlooked sexual challenges brought on by cancer and its treatment.

Dr. Katz addresses the full scope of situations survivors may face, including an altered body image, loss of desire, physical pain, emotional distance, relationship strain, and more. Although these changes are common, they are rarely discussed openly and survivors are often left to figure things out alone, or not at all. Through the stories of couples she’s worked with, Dr. Katz shows that while the path back to sexual intimacy may be complex, it is deeply worthwhile. With equal attention to anatomy and emotion, this book empowers readers to understand how cancer treatments impact sexual function, identity, and mental health and how to reclaim pleasure and closeness at any stage of survivorship.

Mindfulness and Cancer

A Contemporary Guide to MBCT for Cancer

By Trish Bartley

Receiving a cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment are significant life events. Few illnesses are more shocking or have such a far-reaching impact. Yet too often, there is little or no psychological support at the time of diagnosis, during treatment, or for those in recovery. Tackling this issue, Mindfulness and Cancer offers an accessible guide for mindfulness teachers, enabling them to reach ordinary people with cancer and teach them skills to help them turn towards difficult experiences, manage their thoughts and feelings and stay positive in the face of adversity. MBCT for Cancer is founded on a 'three circles' model, in which people move from suffering (involving trauma, rumination and avoidance), through mindful awareness (intention, coming back, turning towards and kindness) to a new state of presence and wellbeing.
