American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry -- Facts for Families
About this site: The AACAP is dedicated to helping the estimated 7 to 12 million young Americans who have mental, behavioral, or development disorders. In addition to its advocacy and clinical research initiatives, the organization publishes nearly 100 fact sheets for families on developmental issues that affect children and teens. There’s something for every parent: Topics cover everything from the questions to ask before considering psychiatric hospitalization or medication, to more subtle difficulties, like how to deal with a child who won’t go to school. (http://www.aacap.org/publications/factsfam/index.htm)  Pluses: The fact sheets are organized both numerically and alphabetically by keyword.  Minuses: Some articles haven’t been updated in four or five years.  Best feature: The fact sheets are available in English, Spanish, German, French, Polish, and Icelandic. |
