This long-awaited successor to Children and Adolescents Mental Health Today (2008) updates and expands the content to offer a contemporary look at the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people across the whole age range from 0 to 25. With over 40 expert contributors drawn from psychiatry, psychotherapy, clinical psychology, education, nursing, social work, education, public health, paediatrics, policy and research, it provides an up-to-date overview of prevalence, risk and preventative factors, policy context and practice. It includes new chapters about current and emerging issues, such as values-based practice, adverse childhood experiences (ACE), the impact of social media, the mental health of LGBT children and young people, and how physical health impacts on mental health and vice versa.

The team of editors, well-known for their contributions to the field, have commissioned a wide range of expert clinicians, professionals and researchers to update the original themes of the book and address new issues and approaches that have since emerged, including mental health in schools, the impact of social media, suicide prevention, gender and sexuality issues and the mental health needs of young offenders.
