Having a child with mental health and/or emotional/behavioral challenges is not something we choose as a parent and there is not a rule book on how to provide care and/or how to get support. Parents always want the best possible care for their children, but always learning what those resources and/or supports are is challenging.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM Guide)
How to use the DSM Guide:
- Section 1: Includes instructions on how to use the book
- Section 2: Covers diagnostic categories
