Developing solid decision-making skills is a fundamental milestone for children as they learn to navigate the world and all the choices in it. Simply said, Waffle Can't Decide is a super relatable and engaging story about making decisions and being decisive. Blue socks! Red socks! Striped socks! Within a swirl of indecisiveness, Waffle just can't decide what to do! And suddenly everything turns into a deciding disaster! Every day we need to all make all kinds of decisions. Some are easy so we don't need to think about them much. Others are tough and we need time to ponder. Decisions are important for bringing us joy, and they are crucial for survival. Every day we make observations about the color of sky, the sound of waves, the smell of flowers, the taste of honey, but decision-making is more cerebral and abstract.

A Therapeutic Story with Creative Activities About Trauma and Dissociation for Children Aged 5-10, with Advice for Adults
By Dr. Karen Treisman, Sarah Peacock
In the lush green Ethiopian mountains lives a tortoise called Taya, who loves basking in the sun and going to Baobab school to play with all her animal friends. But Taya has lived through some painful things. She copes and protects herself by retreating, disconnecting and going inwards. She keeps her feelings locked away, she finds it hard to share with others or to let them in-and this makes her feel even sadder and more alone than ever! How can Taya's friends and family help?
Taya the Tortoise is a much -needed activity workbook and therapeutic story written by award winning clinical psychologist, Dr Karen Treisman. We are used to identifying children who ask for attention, but what about children who need help, but stay silent or show their pain differently? They may survive by disconnecting, retreating, dissociating and internalising their hurt. These children are often overlooked, quieter, and misunderstood and therefore fall through the net. This activity book is a professional tool to help these children and the adults supporting them. At its heart are tools to help children heal, connect, trust, and express themselves. Combining trauma informed theory with practical and creative activities and worksheets, and a final section for adults supporting children, this activity book will help you to support children aged 5-10 to step out of their shells and into a brighter, more connected future.

An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Approach to Building Emotional Resilience
By Freddy Jackson Brown
Raising an autistic child is a uniquely rewarding journey, filled with moments of joy, love and connection. However, it can also bring challenges that require understanding, patience, and new ways of looking at emotional growth and resilience. Supporting an autistic child effectively often requires two interlocking approaches: 1) changing the world around them to make it more inclusive; and 2) teaching them skills to better navigate that world. This book does both. It provides a range of learning exercises based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (and the closely related DNA-V) to build and enhance psychological flexibility, and it also describes the basis for making adaptations to the environment to mitigate stresses and frustrations. Whatever your situation or level of knowledge, this book offers insights, practical strategies and real-life examples that will help guide you and your child on your journey to a rewarding life together.

"What aaaaarrrrrrrrrreeeeeee you?!" If you just had that familiar sinking feeling, this book is for you. Do you point out how alienating and othering that question is? Or keep the peace, bite your tongue and smile politely at yet another person treating you like a science project?

This book explores ways for mixed and multiracial people to recognise how their identity has shaped their life, handle common challenges, and resist othering and erasure. Informed by experience and expertise from both sides of the therapist's couch, the Mixed + Multiracial Guide to Wellbeing shows you how to handle microaggressions, confront systemic issues, and control your own story.

Pathways to Becoming a Bilingual Mental Health Professional
By Maciel Campos, Andres J. Consoli
Today over 60 million Latine individuals live in the US, more than 70 percent of whom are fluent in languages besides English. Disparities in health care are significant among this population, and there is a great need for qualified mental health providers to assess, diagnose, and treat both significant and everyday mental health concerns. Yet less than 8 percent of psychologists are Latinx, with only 5.5 percent identifying as Spanish -speaking, and current standards of training, accreditation and competence for bilingual providers is woefully unstandardized. This book aims to chart a new path forward for bilingual mental health in the United States.

By Anneliese A. Singh, Rafe McCullough
This thoroughly revised edition uses an intersectional, social justice lens to teach practitioners how to competently and compassionately work with trans and nonbinary (TNB) clients and help them flourish.
Research and clinical knowledge have been significantly updated to reflect emerging knowledge of gender diversity, including an expanded multicultural focus and the unique experiences of TNB people of color. New chapters debunk bad science on TNB people, discuss working with TNB clients in sports and other physical activities, and how to treat trauma and suicidality among TNB clients.
The book addresses challenges that TNB individuals and communities face, including ongoing legal assaults on their rights and identities, while resolutely promoting joy and thriving through affirmative practice.
Chapters translate scientific knowledge into practical guidelines for therapists in multiple areas, including interdisciplinary collaborative care with other helping professionals, such as physicians and social services, as well as social and legal advocacy. They also offer guidelines for working with TNB clients across different racial and ethnic identities; religious and spiritual beliefs; and developmental stages, from genderquestioning youth to older adults.

By Kathryn S. K. Hall
This indispensable guide empowers mental health clinicians to seamlessly integrate discussions of sexuality into their therapeutic practice, dismantling the barriers that often leave this vital aspect of patients’ lives unaddressed.
Through compelling case studies, Kathryn S. K. Hall illustrates how core therapeutic skills such as empathy and active listening can be effectively employed to navigate sexual topics with confidence and sensitivity.
Clinicians will learn how to introduce and respond to discussions about sex, maintain professional boundaries, and address common issues such as shame, desire discrepancies, sexual trauma, and atypical sexual interests.
Whether the therapy is for individuals or couples, this book equips practitioners with the foundational knowledge and practical strategies necessary to incorporate sexuality into ongoing treatment.
By doing so, clinicians can enhance patient outcomes and cultivate deeper, more meaningful therapeutic relationships.
