Books for Sale
Historically, MACMH has provided an assortment of books and resources for caregivers and professionals to learn about children’s mental health. Our first publication in 1995 was A Survival Manual for Parents of Children with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders and Mental Health Needs, which was later revised and published as a Children’s Mental Health Resource Guide. A Teachers Guide to Children’s Mental Health was originally published in 2002, with revised editions in 2014 and 2019 as An Educator’s Guide to Children’s Mental Health. We have shared curricula for Children’s Mental Health Classroom Activities and SuperMe: A Campaign to End Hurtful Teasing.

Introduction to the Fact Sheets
These fact sheets are intended to provide a brief overview of the more common mental health disorders, common symptoms and behaviors associated with the disorders, general strategies and resources. They have been updated using the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-5™), updated in 2016. The DC:0-5 is expanded to include birth through 5 years of age.
It can be challenging at times to differentiate symptoms and behaviors of mental health disorders from children’s normal developmental patterns. For example, some toddlers respond to sensory overstimulation by flapping their hands or other repetitive activities, symptoms often associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. A child may exhibit challenging behaviors in one setting and not another which requires that we consider the behavior as the child’s adaptation to a specific context rather than assuming the behavior represents pathology. We also perceive behaviors differently depending on the age or developmental level of a child; for example, we are likely to be much more concerned about the frequent tantrums of a 5-year-old than we are of an 18-month old, depending on the type and severity of the behavior.
Fact sheets for the following diagnoses, categorized to be consistent with the DC:0-5, are included:
- Anxiety Disorders
- Attachment Disruption
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Overactivity Disorder of Toddlerhood
- Autism Spectrum Disorder and Early Atypical Autism Disorder
- Depressive Disorder of Early Childhood
- Disorder of Dysregulated Anger and Aggression of Early Childhood
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Sensory Processing Disorders
