Finally, someone has taken a look into today's classrooms and clearly sees the need to address the issues that our teachers are facing on a daily basis... This book gives teachers a better understanding of the mental health issues that children face, and gives them practical strategies for dealing with not only the students, but with their families. -- Sue A. Rieg, Ed.D. 20060101 An excellent text which provides much needed guidance for teachers on understanding various mental health issues from the perspective of educators and practical, well-researched strategies on steps to take to meet the needs of all children. -- Laura A. Barwegen 20060101 This book is a wonderful resource for teachers, principals, counselors, parents, and students in developing a better understanding of mental health. This book will be a handy resource for those educators who work to understand the whole child they are educating. -- Donna Schumacher-Douglas 20060101 Most chapters present material in language readily understandable to educators. A helpful glossary helps to demystify unavoidable psychological jargon, which is printed in boldface throughout. Readers will appreciate the practical conventions of this text. -- Camille J. Randall Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books 20061116
