Book excerpt: This book highlights the field of youth mental health and why it is a specialty distinct from both child and adolescent and adult mental health. Youth Mental Health: Approaches to Emerging Mental Ill-Health in Young People examines issues such as mental health literacy, e-Health, family, psychological, vocational and pharmacological interventions. The authors also discuss issues that are particularly pertinent to young people, such as suicidality, substance abuse, gender identity and sexuality, attention deficit disorder and eating disorders. Taking a preventative focus, this book presents evidence for youth mental health as an important and growing field, makes the case for the reform of existing service structures to better serve this group and outlines the latest specialised approaches to treatment. Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of leading thinkers in youth mental health, this book is instrumental for mental health professionals who wish to design new specialised mental health systems for young people.

Book Synopsis Suicide Among Diverse Youth by : Andres J Pumariega
Download or read book Suicide Among Diverse Youth written by Andres J Pumariega. This book was released on 2017-11-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of the complex, growing mental health challenges faced by culturally diverse populations of children and adolescents.Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based Guidebook is the first book of its kind, and is designed specifically to bridge the knowledge and skills gap encountered by most clinicians dealing with youth from diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly those different than that of the clinician. The title begins with two introductory chapters, which cover cultural aspects of suicidality among youth, culturally informed treatment of suicidality with diverse youth, and examples of preventative approaches. These are followed by population specific chapters which cover a broad spectrum of diverse populations, including underserved ethnic and racial populations in the United States, LGBTQ youth, as well as various immigrant populations from Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries. These case-based chapters are structured in a cohesive, easy-to-read format that promotes ease of reference, beginning with a clinical case report, review of literature, unique characteristics and risk factors associated with suicidality, and evidence-based practice provided by the authors from their considerable experience. The authors are often from the same ethnic, racial, or cultural group that they discuss in their writings; providing experiential knowledge where scientific knowledge is lacking. Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based Guidebook is a unique resource that offers the clinical material needed to treat diverse adolescent patients with sensitive, intersectional, and culturally-informed care, and will provide an indispensable resource for medical professionals working with, and caring for these patients.

Written by a diverse team of educators, Mental Health 101 gives teens important life skills like...- Self-Esteem - Emotional Intelligence - Coping Skills - Resiliency, and more! 90% of teens in the U.S. are never taught basic mental health skills at school, such as how to cope with anxiety or what to do if you feel depressed. We assume kids will learn coping skills at home, but many of them never do. COVID-19 is causing more social isolation than ever before. Stress, anxiety, and suicide rates are at record highs. 20% of U.S. teens live with a diagnosable mental illness, but only half of them (meaning 10% of all students) will ever get professional help. Our diverse team of writers includes one of America's top youth speakers, Tom Thelen, along with Dr. Kirleen Neely, Dr. Kimberley Orsten Hooge, and Dr. Elliott Kagan. Each author is also a parent with the ability to relate to kids and teens.Today's teens need a clear map to navigate the difficult challenges of life, relationships, and social media. Mental Health 101 is that map. This book is a hit with teens of all ages!
