Children and Young People's Mental Health

“The aim of this book, on children and young people’s mental health, is to help raise awareness about all the important issues affecting our next generation of young adults. Written by subject experts, it provides key information for workers who are not currently mental health specialists.. This book provides valuable guidance on how to enhance existing services.. I hope that this book will go a long way towards providing front line workers with the knowledge and skills to recognise children and young people’s mental health needs.” Anne Longfield, OBE, Children’s Commissioner for England

The team of editors, well-known for their contributions to the field, have commissioned a wide range of expert clinicians, professionals and researchers to update the original themes of the book and address new issues and approaches that have since emerged, including mental health in schools, the impact of social media, suicide prevention, gender and sexuality issues and the mental health needs of young offenders.
