The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that is concerned with international public health. It was established on 7 April 1948, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The WHO is a member of the United Nations Development Group. Its predecessor, the Health Organization, was an agency of the League of Nations.

The constitution of the World Health Organization had been signed by 61 countries on 22 July 1946, with the first meeting of the World Health Assembly finishing on 24 July 1948. It incorporated the Office international d'hygiène publique and the League of Nations Health Organization. Since its creation, it has played a leading role in the eradication of smallpox. Its current priorities include communicable diseases, in particular HIV/AIDS, Ebola, malaria and tuberculosis; the mitigation of the effects of non-communicable diseases; sexual and reproductive health, development, and aging; nutrition, food security and healthy eating; occupational health; substance abuse; and driving the development of reporting, publications, and networking.

The WHO is responsible for the World Health Report, a leading international publication on health, the worldwide World Health Survey, and World Health Day (7 April of every year)

FINALLY, it can be finished in a couple of hours, but I did in two months :D LIFE!
This is a very simplified illustrated guide made and recommended by WHO, so don't question its accuracy. Well stress is always here, so we need to armor ourselves against it, this guide is a good step. I recommend the copy available on WHO website cause links for necessary audios are attached. Read it carefully and take notes.

در لحظاتی از زندگی، زمان هایی است که با استرس، نگرانی، سردرگمی و احساس معروف خلاء در ذهن و شکم دست و پنجه نرم میکنیم و این کتاب دقیقا برای همان زمان ها نوشته شده است. متنی روان، ساده و قابل فهم برای تمامی رده های سنی دارد و به دور از پیچیدگی راه حل هایی کاربردی برای مقابله با خشم و استرس در موقعیت های حساس ارائه می دهد. خواندن این کتاب و انجام تمرین هایش حقیقتا لازم و ضروری است برای تمام کسانی که گاهی اوقات نمیدانند چگونه از طوفان های احساسی عبور کنند.

كتيب مصور أصدرته منظمة الصحة العالمية بعد ظهور وباء كورونا للمساعدة على التعامل مع الضغط النفسي وحالات القلق المرضي. قدمت فيه نصائح عملية تدور معظمها حول كيفية الانتباه لمشاعر القلق والتعامل معها، أعتقد أنني صادفتها جميعاً في مقالات أو كتب قرأتها من قبل ولكنها هنا مجمعة بطريقة موجزة، واضحة ومرتبة ترتيباً منطقياً. في رأيي هي محاولات جيدة للتعامل مع القلق غير الحاد، ولكنها لا تصلح بشكل كافٍ في حالات الاكتئاب الحاد.

The book is in essence a distillation of the pure idea of mindfulness. It calls for knowledge of your state and mindful action towards the positive. It is well presented and an enjoyable read.

Moreover it is like a good long conversation with a friend and is the best method to get to the intended result of training people to do what matters when they are stressed. This is a practical manual for each and everyone of us.

This is brilliant. You would think a person would know these coping techniques but guess what, our dumb asses don't and when you get told about these techniques it's the most obvious thing in the world.

If you're crippled with anxiety and if COVID-19 has got you down, if life is bleak then have a gander at this.

Im mightlity impressed!

Introduced by my boss. Easy to read with clear parts. Instead of having too many complicated terms, the book includes simple, easy to understand tools that guides us on what to do with ourselves and others when feeling stressed.
