Supporting Troubled Young People provides a vital and much-needed
resource for anyone involved with children and young people who are
suffering from or at risk of developing, mental health problems.
Problems such as self-harm, eating disorders, and anxiety and
depression are increasing, while young men, in particular, are at
increasing risk of suicide. This is against a backdrop of NHS CAMH
services unable to cope with demand and resources in the voluntary
sector being stretched beyond their capacity. This means parents,
teachers, social workers and nurses are often the first and only
help available. This book gives them a jargon-free, accessible
guide to help them assess situations, provide skills and guidance
to support children and young people, and know how and where to get
more help for them. Full of practical tips, advice, exercises and
case studies. Articulates gender, multi-cultural, spirituality and
sexuality issues. Tackles contemporary issues such as cyber
bullying, eating disorders and self-harm. Uses research and
established theory in an engaging way enabling the reader to
translate ideas into modern multi-cultural practice. Supporting
Troubled Young People provides any worker involved in supporting,
helping and caring for young people with a practical resource to
use in their work as teachers, social workers, nurses, youth
workers, doctors, foster carers, residential staff, psychologists
and psychiatrists. Parents and young people will also find much of
value here. "This book makes a rich contribution to the
understanding and treatment of children's mental health at a time
when this is desperately needed. It is well-informed, full of case
illustrations to guide the reader, and is written by a
compassionate therapist and researcher with a solid grasp of the
complex social environment in which children live today." Dr Chris
Nicholson - Head of the Department of Psychosocial and
Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex
