Child and Youth Mental Health in Canada : Cases from Front-Line Settings, Paperback / softback Book

Child and Youth Mental Health in Canada : Cases from Front-Line Settings Paperback / softback

Edited by Patricia Kostouros, Brenda Thompson

Paperback / softback

Description

Child and Youth Mental Health in Canada is the first book to cover child and adolescent mental health from a practical, settings-based approach.

Rather than focusing on disorder etiology or diagnostic criteria, the cases in this book emphasize how mental health concerns manifest themselves in a variety of service contexts.

Each chapter, contributed by a practitioner in the human services, provides an overview of the setting to create the context for practice.

The contributors present appropriate interventions and activities for that setting, including interventions specific to the unique needs of refugee, indigenous, and LGBTQ children and youth.

Covering trauma-based behaviours and attachment difficulties, practitioner wellness, residential care, in-patient care, school settings, family homes, recreational settings, secured programs, and juvenile justice, this collection will help to prepare future front-line professionals to effectively provide mental health support across milieus.

This book is suitable for undergraduate child and adolescent mental health courses in child and youth care, psychology, child and family studies, and social work.
