Therapeutic interventions for anxiety, depression, trauma and disruptive behaviour
Anxiety, mood disturbance, trauma and disruptive behaviour are the most common forms of mental health problems suffered by children and young people. Reports of self-harming behaviour, pain, distress and worrying behaviour are increasing.
Practitioners in social care, health, education and youth justice frequently have to work with children and young people who present with these symptoms and support families who are often overwhelmed and in despair.
The Hope for Children and Families approach provides a step by step set of evidence-based modules and guides for practitioners to use with children, young people and their families.
