Written for professionals spanning children's services, this
must-read guide provides an authoritative overview of what shapes
the psychological wellbeing of children and young people - from
perinatal care and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) through to
their socioeconomic circumstances, schools and the wider community.
Contributors provide a concise overview of the evidence base,
identifying current barriers to good mental health in policy and
service provision, and highlighting examples of initiatives proven
to be successful. Examples are drawn from from health, social care,
youth justice and education settings with a focus on preventative
and early intervention measures. This book is a rich resource for
all professionals concerned with child wellbeing, including service
providers, commissioners, professionals and students. It should
serve as essential reading for students on mental health training
courses.
