• Chapter 1. Mental Health Literacy and Young People: What’s Up With Everyone? Chapter 2. Upstream Strategies Chapter 3. Downstream Strategies

This book provides young people with a wonderful, practical guide to prevent psychiatric disorders, on the one hand, and to manage them, once they have occurred. Broad in scope, the focus on creative practice and the health humanities is invaluable. I strongly recommend it for young people, clinicians, and parents. In all, a great book, and very useful.
