Remarkably, this crucial point is all too often forgotten, and communication is overlooked. Services are frequently fragmented, leading professionals to look at children through distinct lenses of either mental health or communication, meaning insights can be incomplete and important perspectives unshared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorking with Child and Adolescent Mental Health \u003c\/em\u003emakes the compelling case that communication is central and should be a primary consideration whenever we think about childrenâs mental health. With a practical focus, and an easy- to-read format, it suggests how this can be achieved by identifying how practitioners and services can work more cohesively to understand and optimise childrenâs communication capacities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical advice, grounded in current research, and presented in an easy-to-read, digestible style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Addressing mental health needs in children and young people is one of the most urgent challenges of our time.

It is the book I have been waiting for since I started working in an inpatient CAMHS service. The book is full of useful resources which can be used straight away, and it is written in a very accessible format. There are very clear examples of why it is so important to look at both communication and mental health and it describes how these are so intertwined. I feel it is also a useful resource for other mental health professionals to help them understand why SLTs are so important in mental health settings.\" - \u003cb\u003eHayley Rosenthall\u003c\/b\u003e, Advanced Specialist SLT, RCSLT Bulletin, Winter 23\/24\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The central role of language and communication\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Ways of thinking about mental health and communication\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Practitioner competencies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Learning from experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Considering social communication in children and young people\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Responding to social communication needs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Changing contexts and cultures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018890510679,"sku":"9781032192833","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032192833.jpg?v=1750778540","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/working-with-child-and-adolescent-mental-health-the-central-role-of-language-and-communication-9781032192833","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
