The second section, Assessment, provides assessment scales for screening for mental health issues, suicidality, issues in children and families, special populations, and bereavement. The third section, Interventions aims to provide therapeutic guidance through psychological first aid, psychosocial interventions, psychopharmacology, collaborative care, and international perspectives.
