Drawing together the latest research, practice expertise and the views of young people with lived experience of growing up in care, this book explores:_x0007_ mental health problems that care-experienced children and young people are likely to have;_x0007_ how racism affects the experiences and mental health of black and minority ethnic children and young people;_x0007_ the contribution that social workers can make to the lives of care-experienced children and young people of all ages; and _x0007_ how to work effectively with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) professionals. Offering clear guidance to support better practice, this book is essential reading for social work practitioners, supervisors, managers, students, foster carers and anyone working in an allied profession to improve support and outcomes for care-experienced children and young people.","brand":"Christine Cocker","offers":[{"title":"284 pages, 9 Tables, black and white; 4 Illustrations, black and white \/ 10\/09\/2026 \/ Care of the mentally ill","offer_id":57415392330103,"sku":"9781447365594","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781447365594","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
