Resources
We want to make this website the destination for parents, teens, educators, health care providers and others interested in learning more about teen mental health and mental disorders. In order to do so, we are constantly developing new materials. As well, we are updating previously developed material as new information becomes available. All our materials are developed using evidence-based science, end-user involvement and founded on understanding key concepts not just providing information. They are field tested with groups of youths, adults, educators and healthcare providers.
Our keyword search helps you find materials that are relevant to your needs. Every material has its own mini description, with an online readable version. We also include a PDF version that you can download and use, or you can link to our print on demand service (is now available) and have a printed-bound copy (or copies) delivered to your doorstep.
We offer nearly all of our publications free of charge (there are a couple of exceptions which include our print on demand service). In exchange for you identifying yourself as an educator, parent, professional or teen. We want to know more about the people that are using our materials so we can continue to develop items that are relevant for you. All of our materials are under copyright. They can be used by anyone for personal or professional reasons. That means, if you are a teacher you can download and use any materials for your class.es If you are a health provider you can use any materials for your clinic. If you are a teen or parent you can use any materials for your family and friends. Materials can not be altered or sold.
If you have any suggestions, comments or feedback, we'd love to hear them, click here to email your thoughts to us.
