Canadian Federation of Mental Health Nurses

The Irish Institute of Mental Health Nursing is asking for input on the question "what is good mental health nursing?" I'm thinking we could put some thoughts together and share them with our colleagues from across the pond. In the CFMHN Beliefs/Values description, 'good mental health nursing' is about entering into therapeutic relationships with others, carrying our toolkits that include evidence-based and experiential knowledge from nursing and related health sciences. It involves the promotion of mental health and the prevention, treatment and management of mental disorders. I look forward to hearing what you think is "good mental health nursing".
