Bringing together current research on mental health services for children from minority ethnic backgrounds, this much-needed resource provides guidance for both practice and policy. In the light of their interviews with child and adolescent mental health managers about their approaches to service development, the authors argue that the delivery of effective services can be achieved only by recognizing the diversity of cultures and individual needs of minority groups and encouraging more communication between service providers.

`Overall the book is a useful addition to the literature on BME (black and minority ethnic) mental health and is appropriate for practitioners working in all areas of mental health. The key issues raised and recommendations made for developing a more appropriate and culturally competent CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) reflect proposals for improving mental health services to adult BME communities.'
