The Mental Health of Care-Experienced Children and Young People cover

Care-experienced children and young people are nearly five times more likely than their peers to experience mental health difficulties, with close to half meeting criteria for a diagnosable disorder. This book addresses inter-agency collaboration and highlights key transition points to ensure young people don’t ‘fall through the cracks’.

“This excellent book explores key issues from research and practice regarding social work and mental health with care-experienced children and young people. It’s recommended essential reading for students, social workers and mental health professionals.” Lucille Allain, Middlesex University
