@RosenTeenTalk - School Library Journal

Teens today are living with a variety of issues that are directly connected to serious mental health conditions, and they can be difficult to address. While these titles do address heavy topics, each approaches the topic at hand with care and open explanations. Sections with definitions are broken up by pictures of teens throughout the series and followed up with scenarios to help provide relatable examples. Going beyond talking about the issues at hand, the authors take the time to address resources and how teens can reach out for help with things like school violence. The subject matter is reflective of the experiences and concerns teens experience today. VERDICT Valuable resources for school libraries to better support mental health questions of students.
