As parents and caregivers, we worry about our children - about their physical health, performance at school, the types of friends they have, and, of course, their mental health. It's usually obvious what to do for physical injuries like broken bones, but when it comes to our children's mental health, the answers are much less clear, and sometimes even contradictory.
This book helps break down the stigma of mental health illness and walk parents and carevgivers through the warning signs, risk factors, prevention strategies, and the process of diagnosis and treatment for mental health challenges arising from: anxiety, substance use disorders, eating disorders, sleep disorders, depression, trauma, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, psychosis, ADHD, and autism.
