This book has been great in highlighting mental health and helping me as a tutor understand more.
This is a fantastic book, it breaks down a vast amount of mental health illnesses and then offers really practical ways to them and help the learners in your classroom.
I have found this invaluable, espcially for BTEC health and social care, as it has broken down many conditions.
This is an invaluable textt for tutors and students alike teaching a Child and Adolescent Mental Health module on any course.
Good as an optional extra - since many of the contents are listed as being photocopyable, the tutor can use the book as course material
