Does your child throw a temper tantrum every time you to go to the supermarket? As a nursery teacher, are you finding it difficult to control Richard in the classroom, especially when he crawls under the tables at reading time? Is your best friend living off black coffee and lettuce leaves and getting thinner and thinner before your eyes, and you don't know where to turn? The Royal College of Psychiatrists' Mental Health and Growing Up factsheets may be able to help. These short, simply written and easily understandable information sheets offer parents, teachers and young people practical and up-to-date information on what you can do if you are worried about your child, a pupil or a friend. The 36 different factsheets cover a wide range of emotional, behavioural and mental health problems that often affect children and young people. Each factsheet explains what the problem might be, the possible causes and effects, gives tips to help you deal with it, outlines the treatments available, and shows how and where to get help and further information. The factsheets have been rewritten for this third edition, so they are more accessible to the general public. There are also new cartoon-style illustrations. Each double-sided A4-size factsheet has been designed so that it can be photocopied clearly and easily. They can then be handed out to young people, pupils, parents or friends. The pack is ideal for school or practice nurses, their colleagues or any professionals working with children and young people.
