| Summary: | "Recognizing the importance of mental health literacy in child and youth care practice, Introduction to Mental Health for Child and Youth Care features mental health content that is relevant and applicable to practitioners. The text is designed to meet the professional practice needs of child and youth care practitioners to participate fully in integrated mental health teams; to knowledgeably advocate for children, youth, and their families for accessible and quality care; and to understand mental health from different perspectives, including Indigenous wellness, attachment theory, resilience and trauma-informed care, and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Topics include the practitioner’s role in mental health care of children and youth; Indigenous’ perspectives on mental wellness; epidemiology of mental disorders; stigma; interventions such as evidence-based treatments and complimentary approaches; theories of resilience, attachment, and trauma; and suicide, which is a leading cause of death for young people worldwide and closely linked to mental disorders. Additionally, several chapters are dedicated to disorders relevant to children and youth that practitioners are likely to encounter in practice, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, feeding and eating disorders, schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders, and autism spectrum disorders and learning disabilities."-- |
