Helping children and adolescents with chronic and serious medical conditions

"Many practitioners lack the training to deal competently with acute and chronic health issues presented by their young clients and students. Providing an innovative inter-professional model, Helping Children and Adolescents with Chronic and Serious Medical Conditions provides a multi-disciplinary approach so that practitioners from a diverse range of helping fields, working in hospitals, out-patient clinics, agencies and schools, may be better equipped to foster children's resilience and build on their emotional strengths. This is a vital tool for a broad range of health care professionals, including social workers, school counselors, play therapists, nurses, and many others"--Provided by publisher.
