Take a proactive approach towards your child’s mental health and discover how to have the conversations that will be life-saving and life-changing.

With a foreword by Benny Refson, President of the children’s mental health charity Place2Be

The pressures faced by children and adolescents today are unprecedented, and the corresponding statistics around poor mental health deeply alarming. Behind every mental health issue, from addiction to ADHD, lies a host of underlying problems that need addressing but as a worried parent it’s hard to know where to focus. What do you do if your child struggles with anxiety? Is self-harming? Has developed an unhealthy relationship with eating, exercise, technology or alcohol?

Proactive in approach, top addiction therapist Mandy Saligari provides the tools to help you identify and address the self-destructive patterns of behaviour, to stop them in their tracks. Her practical framework reveals how you can adapt your own behaviour and equip your child to develop emotional intelligence, resilience and self-esteem.

Mandy is a like a surgeon for emotions. Through my work at Big Change, I know it's easier to grow a strong child than fix a broken adult and early prevention is key to breaking negative cycles ... I highly recommend this book
