Book SynopsisMental 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.Trade Review"Describing how children and young people can do more than survive this adverse childhood experience but go on to thrive and flourish whilst supporting parents and family, written by its authors with emotional intelligence and intelligent kindness, this book is a must read for all practitioners working across the field of mental health, all health, social care, education and justice, and indeed all parents.The impact of parental mental illness on children and young people has been a both much neglected area and where written about has had a focus on blame rather than understanding, finding solutions and building resilience in children young people and families. Now for the first time we have a book that listens to and learns from children and young people themselves. True Co-production of the lived experience of Children and Young is People is 'yes hard Hitting’ whilst at the same time tender."Dame Sue Bailey, Chair, Centre for Mental Health, previously Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Manchester, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Chair of the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges and Chair of the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition"It’s hard to draw positives from the past decade of austerity, but one has been the dawning recognition of issues, previously neglected, that underlie many of our social ills. Domestic abuse is one such issue, loneliness another. And growing up with a parent with mental illness is at last starting to win the attention it deserves.This fine collection of accounts of childhoods overshadowed – but also, startlingly, sometimes enriched – by parental mental illness could not be more timely for policy-makers beginning to appreciate the importance of supporting children and young people living with the daily reality. It’s also a welcome prompt for journalists like me to ensure the topic is firmly on the public agenda.At a mental health and addictions charity I am involved with, people we support are encouraged to give testimonies of their challenges and recovery journeys. Recently a worker with the charity felt confident enough to give her own, extraordinarily moving, account of growing up with a mother with bipolar disorder and of how it had helped shape her career choice. ‘I am no longer an insecure kid,’ she said. ‘I am hopeful.’"David Brindle, Public Services Editor, The Guardian"As someone who experienced parental mental ill health as a child and received no input from services, I believe it is essential that those people who come into contact with children on a daily basis are equipped to open up much needed lines of communication for them. Now in my role as a teacher I am an advocate for increasing awareness amongst staff about the challenges that these children may face every day. This book achieves both of these goals and is an essential read for anyone working with children."Alex Hatt, Secondary Science and Special Educational Needs Teacher and child who experienced mental illness in a parent"Books like this can support professionals to feel confident to look beyond the basic treatment ‘task’ they’ve been allocated. A greater appreciation of the complexity of the family lives of their patients can add an additional layer of understanding and in can lead to a difference to the way we choose to intervene leading to more person-centred and individualised care which is better received, more impactful for the patient and family and more rewarding for the professional. Listening to, working with and learning from young carers and children living with parents with mental illness is essential for any mental health professional working in the field. Recognising, valuing and developing work with children in these families should be seen as a part of our core work that improves practice and outcomes. Having meaningful knowledge of, and being known to the family (Who are you? What’s your job? Why are you in my house? Can you help my mum/dad/brother/sister? Can you help me?) can and should be integrated into our day to day practice. Its valuable to have tools to learn how to have these conversations effectively - building knowledge about what the children and young people are good at, how the family works and communicates together and supporting them to develop resilience in the face of their difficult circumstances and letting them know they are not alone. Mental health and other health care professionals are well placed to be a consistent available adult who may have some useful (if not all of the) answers, who knows both the parent and the child. Hearing from children as to what they might consider such an adult to be like can help us focus on this area of our work. Through their work as articulated throughout this publication, the authors demonstrate the vital importance of giving children and young people an equal place on the ‘platform’ to speak and be heard in their own voices and through their voices to be enabled to educate adult professionals about how we can effectively work with them and to co-create services that meet their needs. As we pursue a national programme of major transformation of mental health services this book is an extremely well-timed resource."Chris Caldwell, D.Prof, RGN, RN (Child), PGDipEd, Director of Nursing & System Workforce Development, Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust"As a young adult carer, a book that listens to young people’s experiences is an essential read for anyone working with mental illness in adults and the young people it affects. It’s not easy sometimes, but then life with mental illness never is. What this book does is show that listening and learning will help when dealing with mental illness."Melissa Moody, Young Adult Carer engaged with The Children’s Society Include Service"This book is an essential read for those interested in a new paradigm of co-creating a scaffolding where the voices of children of parental mental illness are fully heard, listened to and above all considered."

Book SynopsisBullying amongst young people is a serious and pervasive problem, and recent rapid advances in electronic communication technologies have provided even more tools for bullies to exploit. School Bullying and Mental Health collates current research evidence and theoretical perspectives about school bullying in one comprehensive volume, identifying the nature and extent of bullying and cyberbullying at school, as well as its impact on children and young peopleâs emotional health and well-being. There are many negative consequences of bullying, and children and young people who have been victimised often suffer long-term psychological problems, such as increased levels of anxiety, depressive symptoms, social isolation, loneliness and suicidal ideation. Perpetrators of bullying also have a heightened risk of experiencing problems such as anxiety and depression, as well as eating disorders and antisocial behaviour. Founded on rigorous academic research, this important bookTrade Review‘School Bullying and Mental Health: Risks, Intervention and Prevention is a unique book that covers a broad variety of relevant and cutting-edge topics spanning from theory to practice. The book discusses the tipping point at which bullying becomes a crime and considers bullying involving sexual violence and bullying targeting minorities. As well as the school setting, bullying in university and workplace settings is covered in this book, giving the reader an overview of bullying across the life-span. The consequences of bullying are considered while accounting for therapeutic work and interventions within specific social and cultural contexts. A must-read for anyone with an interest in this increasingly recognised world-wide problem.’ - Professor Muthanna Samara, Department of Psychology, Kingston University London, UK‘This is a very important book for anyone who is concerned with the nature of bullying, its consequences for the mental health and well-being of young people, and the measures that can be taken to ameliorate and prevent this ubiquitous but often hidden problem. The editors, Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers, are distinguished authorities in this complex area and bring to bear their extensive knowledge in the creation of a scholarly and very well constructed book. In dividing the volume into five distinct themes, elaborated by a wide array of international expert writers, they provide the reader with an invaluable resource that illuminates the multifarious nature of bullying in ways that are always informative, engaging, and thought-provoking. The writing is clear and accessible, but never at the expense of complexity. School Bullying and Mental Health: Risks, Intervention and Prevention offers many important insights, none more important than the fact that bullying in schools has immediate, extensive, and, in some cases, lifelong negative consequences for its victims that can be prevented through timely, informed and carefully targeted intervention. This book deserves a very wide readership among school leaders, teachers, educational psychologists, and school governors, as well as policy makers. Academics in education, and their Masters and Doctoral students studying bullying and mental health, will also find this book an indispensable source.’ - Paul Cooper, CPsychol, FBPsS, Emeritus Professor, Brunel University London, UK‘Bullying was for long spared full censure, the rigours of the criminal law and the criminological gaze, as if it were a fleeting and marginal form of misbehaviour that should be treated with an indulgence akin to benefit of clergy. But a changing understanding of childhood, greater publicity and an enhanced appreciation of who and what it is to be a victim have begun to translate it into a complex and consequential social problem. It is apparent that it is not simply confined to the playground; that it may take multiple forms and that its impact is often far from ephemeral. It is not always easy to make sense of everything that has been learned, and Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers are greatly to be thanked for having mustered educationalists, sociologists, criminologists, and psychologists from across the globe to produce such a timely and comprehensive review of the state of expert, legal, practical, and policy-relevant knowledge of the field.’ - Paul Rock, Emeritus Professor, London School of Economics, UK‘Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers realize that such an important issue as bullying needs to be viewed from different angles, based on current scientific data and appropriate methods in the field of research, intervention, and prevention. They gathered scientific researchers as well as practitioners in bullying prevention and treatment from various countries: UK, USA, Greece, Malta, Sweden, Spain, Pakistan, Australia, Ireland, and Finland. All of them share with us their impressive knowledge and practical experiences for dealing with bullying. Therefore, the book will be of great value for a range of practitioners (teachers, psychologists etc.), but also for university teachers and students, interested parents of both bullies and victims, and all those victimized people who are searching for the right answers.’ - Renata Miljević-Riđički, Professor in the Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb, CroatiaTable of ContentsSeries Editor's Foreword Contributors Theme 1: The Nature of Bullying 1.
