A mental health professional is a health care practitioner or social and human services provider who offers services for the purpose of improving an individual's mental health or to treat mental disorders. This broad category was developed as a name for community personnel who worked in the new community mental health agencies begun in the 1970s to assist individuals moving from state hospitals, to prevent admissions, and to provide support in homes, jobs, education, and community. These individuals (i.e., state office personnel, private sector personnel, and non-profit, now voluntary sector personnel) were the forefront brigade to develop the community programs, which today may be referred to by names such as supported housing, psychiatric rehabilitation, supported or transitional employment, sheltered workshops, supported education, daily living skills, affirmative industries, dual diagnosis treatment,[1] individual and family psychoeducation, adult day care, foster care, family services and mental health counseling.

About
This book is dedicated to helping all recovering addicts find and deepen a connection to their Higher Power, however they define it. Praying for Recovery is for confirmed believers or not-yet-believers looking for a new spiritual path. The author presents his own experience in overcoming his skepticism about a personal God and learning to pray for recovery with an open heart. Especially for this book he has translated Psalms that were instrumental in helping him to make the Twelve Steps a spiritual path for himself. The book offers them to other recovering addicts, along with accompanying prayers and meditations. Praying for Recovery can be used either by those working the twelve Steps for the first time, or by individuals who continue to revisit individual steps as part of their ongoing recovery. The book invites readers to build their own experiences of prayer upon the psalms and mediations presented here.
