Many children with mental health problems do not receive support and there are often extensive waiting lists for Children and Young People's Mental Health Services, which are increasingly overstretched. Unfortunately, a large proportion of children with mental health disorders do not access evidence-based treatment. Low-intensity psychological interventions are now recommended by a number of national guidelines and in the UK, are being implemented by a new workforce of Child Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs).

The Oxford Guide to Brief and Low Intensity Interventions for Children and Young People provides a comprehensive resource for therapists, services and training providers regarding the use, delivery, and implementation of brief and low intensity psychological interventions within a child and adolescent context. It includes concise, focused chapters from leading experts in the field, combining the most up-to-date research with practical considerations regarding the delivery of low intensity interventions.

The first of its kind, this book will be an indispensable resource for practitioners, services, and training courses internationally.

Ces enfants ont pensé qu'ils étaient fous. Ils ont voulu mourir, ont connu la peur, la rage, le désespoir. Atteints de troubles mentaux, quatre enfants et leurs parents font le choix courageux de raconter leur histoire. À leurs voix s'ajoute celle de la réalisatrice qui a reçu à l'âge adulte un diagnostic de troubles bipolaires et raconte avec une puissance d'évocation les premiers symptômes qui remontent à l'enfance. Ça tourne dans ma tête s'inscrit en marge des débats de spécialistes, adoptant un ton intimiste qui permet de découvrir les enfants derrière les mots angoissants de leur diagnostic.

Adolescents - Santé mentale

Adolescence is a period of rapid growth, maturing individuality, vulnerabilities and fortitude. Fortunately, most youths go through this period of life in a healthy way, but some do not. Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and Intervention is a concise and accessible overview of our current knowledge on effective treatment and prevention programs for youths who have developed, or are at risk of developing, mental health problems.

Ogden and Hagen's introduction to "what works" in the promotion of adolescent mental health addresses some of the most common mental health problems among young people, and how these problems might be prevented or ameliorated through professional and systematic efforts. The volume illustrates contemporary and empirically supported interventions and prevention efforts through a series of case studies, and covers some of the most prevalent mental health conditions affecting today's youth; externalizing, internalizing and drug use problems. Within an ecological and transactional framework, the book discusses how psychopathologies may develop and the risks and protective factors associated with these. The problem-oriented perspective on risk and mental health problems is combined with a focus on social competence and other protective factors.

Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and Intervention will be essential reading for students and practitioners in the fields of child welfare and mental health services, and any professionals working with adolescents at risk of developing mental health problems.

Safe Teen offers an in-depth look at the issues and skills taught in the Safe Teen workshops, including how to access inner strength, how to deal with bullying and sexual harassment, and how to say "no" to drugs and alcohol.
