Experts here use interdisciplinary approaches to examine the stress on children and adolescents especially those living in poverty and difficult socio-economic conditions. Providing evidence-based knowledge and bearing reference to varied cultures in which children and adolescents grow up, they highlight the role of schools, communities, families and individuals in understanding the mental health needs of the new generation and responding to them in an adequate and suitable manner. They delve into the effects of depression on the young, their response to stressful situations in the form of suicidal behaviour, impact of HIV/AIDS on their mental health, and violence and anti-social behaviour on their part. They examine the trends in child welfare strategies and measures needed such as behavioural parent training with abusive parents.
