• Canadian Institute for Health Information (2009) Improving the Health of Canadians: Exploring Positive Mental Health, Ottawa, ON, Author Positive or good mental health is more than just the absence of a mental illness. In fact, according to a new report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), people reporting higher levels of positive mental health also report better physical health and fewer days of reduced activity. The report examines five aspects of positive mental health, including: life enjoyment; coping ability; emotional well-being; spiritual values and well-being; and social well-being and connectedness. This is the first report of its kind in Canada to offer a comprehensive look at the role positive mental health plays in physical health, including what factors are associated with high levels of positive mental health.

(2002) Mental Health Promotion for People with Mental Illness Health Canada Current research literature supports the growing emphasis on promoting health by focusing on individuals‘ strengths, capacities, and recovery capabilities.

• Friedli, L. (2009) Mental Health, Resilience and Inequalities: Gap Between Rich and Poor Damages Mental Health ,World Health Organization
  This report shows how the gap between rich and poor affects the mental health of individuals by causing psychological and physiological changes. It also argues that mental health is key to understanding wider health and social issues (low levels of educational achievement and work productivity; higher levels of physical disease and mortality; violence, relationship breakdown and poor community cohesion). In contrast, good mental health leads to better physical health, healthier lifestyles, improved productivity and educational attainment and lower levels of crime and violence. The report says that reducing inequalities must be seen as an integral part of economic development, and recommends that, given the central importance of mental health to the wider functioning of society, all future public policy is assessed for its mental health impact.

• Coping with the Stress of Terrorism and Armed Conflict (9/11/02)Terrorist attacks, acts of war, and sudden violent events such as disasters challenge our coping skills, even if we only witness them on television. If they touch our lives more closely (for example, if they occur near where we live, or affect people we know) they can cause a lot of distress, fear and anxiety. We worry about our own safety, the safety of our loved ones and our community.

• Bullying Experiences for Sexual Minorities This paper investigated whether non-heterosexual youth experience more bullying, sexual harassment, and dating violence than heterosexual youth. The central interest was in the experiences of youth that identify themselves as bisexual or as questioning their sexuality since most research thus far has focused on those that identify themselves using the more definite categories of 'gay' or 'lesbian'.
