Mental health of school children

How can you tell if a child needs help? And what role do we – parents, teachers, or professionals who work with children – play in this?
This book provides an accessible insight into the mental health of children and adolescents. It offers not only a theoretical foundation and an overview of scientific findings but also practical advice on how to recognise warning signs, how to communicate with children about their emotions, and how to build an environment where they can feel safe.
The authors respectfully also give a voice to children and young people themselves, who openly share their experiences. The book thus becomes not only a guide but also a challenge to its readers – to be more attentive, more perceptive, and better prepared to provide timely support.
