Thanks Lucy, yes someone had already suggested the Kidstime website and that film. I found the film very heavily medicalised, emphasising the brain and about the brain not working properly, but there did seem to be some useful discussion which highlighted factors outside of people, and also, as someone pointed out, not too much reference to diagnosis.
Best wishes
Penny

Hi Penny
There is a programme called
Kidstime which is about helping children talk with parents
about their mental health which is run through young carers
in some parts of London, I think info on it is published by
the Royal college of psychiatrists although my memory is
that it isn't particularly medically focussed. I think I
have some papers somewhere hidden away so happy to dig them
out if you're interested. It is designed to run as a
group though.
Best wishes
Lucy

for all suggestions so far. I'm looking less for books
about how children and their emotions, and more for books or
resources about how to talk with children about adults who
are struggling. Please keep any suggestions coming.
