Media Reviews
`A copy of this very reasonably priced teachers' guide would be a helpful school resource.' -- Child Care Forum
`It is an excellent, easy-to-read and clearly understandable publication which fulfils its mission of guiding teachers and others involved in the education of our youth. We recommend the book not just to school teachers but also to health professionals, counsellors, youth leaders and other adults in direct contact with children.' -- Health and Hygiene
`It highlights key concepts but also practical guidelines to help recognise children's mental health problems and it includes training exercises to stimulate discussion about the topics addressed...admirably successful in [its] aims. Child psychiatrists would be well advised to obtain copies so that they can recommend them to parents and teachers. It is unlikely that individual clinics will already have such valuable information at their disposal.' -- European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
`The book is carefully laid out with a clear structure and useful sub-headings. It is a straightforward approach to the main issues concerned - ideal for use as part of a teacher-training course or for interested parents seeking an overview.' -- National Association for Primary Education Newsletter
`Asserts that despite the crucial role of the family, schools can do much for mental health by fostering the emotional well-being of children, and be of immediate and practical help to them when problems arise.' -- ACE Bulletin
` ...this short book establishes the need for schools to take mental health issues very seriously and provides practical guidance on how to do just that. One section of the guide focuses on the key role of the teacher, and reminds education planners and purse-string holders, that teachers need support.' -- Share an Idea (Magazine of Contact a Family)
