Nursing Skills for Children and Young People's Mental Health

Nursing Skills for Children and Young People's Mental Health, 1st Edition, is a textbook that highlights the qualities and care children and young people value most from health professionals. Moving away from formulaic overviews of conditions and treatments, the text focuses on identifying and applying the direct interpersonal support young patients need.

The volume explores nursing practice across specialist child and adolescent mental health settings as well as general paediatric environments. Coverage addresses roles in community teams, inpatient facilities, emergency departments, and paediatric wards.

Intended for nursing students and experienced practitioners, the text illustrates how establishing trust-based therapeutic relationships helps young people grow into healthy, resilient young adults.
