This new edition of Working with Children and Youth with Complex
Needs provides detailed descriptions of techniques, ample case
studies, fascinating and easy to understand explanations of
research, and rich stories of how social workers, psychologists,
counselors, child and youth care workers, and other mental health
professionals can help young people become more resilient. Fully
updated and including new discussions of trauma, adverse childhood
experiences (ACEs), resilience, genetic susceptibility to stress,
the impact of migration and natural disasters on families, and much
more, Dr. Ungar shows why we need to work just as hard changing the
environments that surround children as we do changing children
themselves. Building on lessons learned from clinical, community
and residential settings, Dr. Ungar discusses a shortlist of 20
essential skills that can enhance the effectiveness of frontline
mental health services without relying on expensive, resource heavy
programs. Along with descriptions of the skills necessary to talk
with clients about the factors that put their mental health at
risk, Working with Children and Youth with Complex Needs presents
systemic practices clinicians can use in their everyday work to
help their clients transform their worlds and improve their access
to the resources they need to succeed. Chapters present a variety
of practical strategies that clinicians can use to enhance and
sustain the therapeutic value of their work, including engaging
with children's extended family; addressing issues of community
violence, racism and homophobia; and helping parents and teachers
understand (and change) children's maladaptive coping strategies. A
series of videos accompanies the text to help readers see the
skills that are discussed being applied to real-life situations
mental health professionals and their community allies encounter.
