Victims of Crime and Community Justice - Brian Williams - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Victims of Crime and Community Justice - Brian Williams - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

By Their Own Young Hand - Karen Rodham - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Self-harm in adolescents is an increasingly recognized problem, and there is growing awareness of the important role schools and health services can play in detecting and supporting those at risk. By Their Own Young Hand explores the findings of the first large-scale survey of deliberate self-harm and suicidal thinking in adolescents in the UK, and draws out the implications for prevention strategies and mental health promotion.Six thousand young people were asked about their experiences of self-harm, the coping methods they use, and their attitudes to the help and support available. The authors identify the risk and protective factors for self-harm, exploring why some adolescents with suicidal thoughts go on to harm themselves while others do not, what motivates some young people to seek help, and whether distressed teenagers feel they receive the support they need. By Their Own Young Hand offers practical advice on how schools can detect young people at risk, cope with the aftermath of self-harm or attempted suicide, and develop training programmes for teachers. It also examines the roles of self-help, telephone helplines, email counselling, and walk-in crisis centres.Packed with adolescents'' own personal accounts and perspectives, this accessible overview will be essential reading for teachers, social workers and mental health professionals.

Stand Up for Autism - Georgina J. Derbyshire - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Stand Up for Autism - Georgina J. Derbyshire - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

When we tell someone that our child is autistic, the most common response is a sad face and an apologetic look. I hate it when people say "I''m sorry to hear that".Parenting a child on the autistic spectrum can be tough at the best of times, but few books take the time to celebrate the love and laughter an autistic child can elicit in their parents and those around them. In this warm, honest and laugh-out-loud tale of bringing up Bobby, now ten, Georgina Derbyshire shares and rejoices in his ''slightly different'' childhood.As she outlines momentous events in Bobby''s life, from the day he decided he was a dog (continuing life as a canine for a year afterwards), to the time he catapulted an innocent shopper into a mountain of strawberries, Georgina repeatedly challenges the perception of autism as an affliction, maintaining that neurotypical people often make far less sense. Through her light-hearted and hilarious storytelling, she reveals how social codes and psychological games make the neurotypical world a very confusing place to live in, more so than ever if you happen to be a young boy with a passion for rocks, tape measures and trains. This book is a must for anybody involved in the upbringing of an autistic child, whether they are in search of a little comfort, companionship, light relief - or all three.
