Knowing is the first step to helping

Our new pamphlets help you understand attention, behaviour, mood and anxiety problems

Growing up in today’s world isn’t easy. 

In Canada and the U.S., one in five children growing up today shows signs of a mental health problem.  Among the most common are attention problems (Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), behaviour problems, depression and anxiety.

Parents have told us they want information about these problems, information that will help them understand what is happening and how they can best help their child. 

So we produced a series of information pamphlets especially for parents.  These pamphlets were piloted for several months with the Hamilton Family Health Team, the largest family health team in Ontario and the only one that includes child and youth mental health counselling as an integral part of its primary health care delivery.

The pamphlets have now been revised to incorporate feedback from the Family Health Team physicians and the families they serve, as well as the many parents and professionals who responded to our web site survey. 

Single copies of the pamphlets can be downloaded and printed directly from this web site.  Larger quantities can be ordered in multiples of 100 for only 5 cents a pamphlet + shipping and handling.
