Understanding Youth Mental Health offers a new and comprehensive approach to youth mental health that highlights the significance of development during adolescence and early adulthood.
The book centres on the experiences of young people as service users, drawing attention to the distinctive challenges being faced in the 21st century and emphasising the importance of supporting young people’s well-being and improving mental health literacy.
In a succinct and practical way, Understanding Youth Mental Health:
• Introduces students to a new conceptual model for understanding young people’s mental health
• Incorporates chapters on the key features of new model services in Australia, Ireland and the UK including youth engagement, input from families and service design
• Provides comprehensive epidemiological data on mental disorders and a clear focus on the importance of early intervention in psychosis
• Includes chapters from leading academics working in the area of youth mental health, augmented with short accounts of personal experiences from young people and their families
Written by world-leading experts from eight countries with diverse research and clinical experience, Understanding Youth Mental Health draws on findings from around the globe and equips readers with the information required to develop as researchers and practitioners with a view to improving service provision in a range of contexts.
