Building Children's Resilience in the Face of Parental Mental Illness (eBook, PDF)

Conversations with Children, Parents and Professionals
Redaktion: Cooklin, Alan; Gorell Barnes, Gill

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Mental illness in a parent presents children with multiple challenges, including stigma, self-doubt and self-blame, ongoing anxiety and depression, that are rarely discussed in the public domain. This important new book, written by young people who have lived through these experiences, as well as professionals working alongside their families, highlights the relationships between children, parents and professionals, and the emotional issues they all face.

A key focus of the book is the relationships in all combinations between the children, parents and professionals, as well as the responses to each other illustrated throughout. It will be ideal for all those working in the health, social and educational professions, as well as parents and children themselves.
