Mental Health
The human givens approach was developed over 20 years ago to bring clarity and unity to the field of mental health and to make it easier for everyone, not just professionals, to understand what causes the majority of mental health and behavioural problems – as well as how best to overcome them.
Going back to basics they looked at what everyone – whatever their age, cultural background, sexuality or financial situation – needs to thrive. The framework they developed to understand these profound truths is deceptively clear and gives us a powerful way to help people create fulfilling lives for themselves, with minimal mental health problems.
Human Givens is truly remarkable. It can do in one or two sessions what other therapies take months and even years to try to achieve...
Dawn Patricia Walters, Therapist, Saudia Arabia
I have been a family therapist for 30 years. I have found Human Givens books, online courses, and in-person trainings to be extremely valuable; a seamless integration of best practices, current research, and creative thinking. Taking the Diploma has recharged my enthusiasm to practice and improved my own mental health significantly.
John Bukenberger, LMFT, USA
I can attest to the human givens approach – unless the 'givens' are listened to and respected, you cannot truly help others... this approach is universally applicable.
James Larocco, former Head of Multinational Forces of Observers, Sinai, and former American Ambassador to Kuwait
I can very much endorse the tenets the human givens approach puts forward. I think your work is important and much needed, and let’s hope that people listen.
