The Child Mind Institute has put together a list, along with descriptions, of 44 books they recommend for children. In their own words these are the “best books for helping kids understand emotional and learning challenges”

The books are listed by topics ranging from ADHD to Trauma, with a little bit of everything in between, (Anxiety, Dyslexia, etc) They also include a mixture of books to be read by very young children, to chapter books for kids up to 12 in the mixture.

Go take a look if you want to offer up some reading for the kids in your life who might need some help understanding mental health subjects.

If you have kids who have benefited from a book like this, whether it’s on the Child Mind list or not, let us know.

I think this is something many of us would agree with, the people in our organizations have all been through trauma, some in more ways than others.
