A quick reference guide of useful classroom strategies to help elementary and secondary school teachers and administrators understand and assist students with mood, behaviour or thinking problems.

The handbook is made up of eight sections covering Anxiety Disorders, Autism, Depression, Eating Disorders, Impulse Control Disorders, Schizophrenia, Tourette Syndrome, and Resources. Each disorder section describes the disorder, lists behaviour characteristics, and offers strategies for coping, and relevant resources.

'I have used this handbook in my graduate course of mostly teachers. They have all found it to be an excellent and practical resource.'
