In partnership with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health<br />
(CAMH), <strong>Tundra</strong> is proud to launch an important series of<br />
books for children who have to cope with adult-sized problems.<br />
Young Alex’s father had been a policeman until he began to<br />
suffer from depression, perhaps the most common mental health<br />
issue we face. Alex’s questions are those that are often asked by<br />
the children of parents who have depression: is the parent simply<br />
lazy? Does he no longer care? And is it something I can catch,<br />
like a cold?<br />
In simple, straightforward language, the book explains what<br />
depression is and how it is treated. It also prepares a child for<br />
working with a helping professional. And perhaps most<br />
important, it reassures a child that he or she is not alone.<br />
Written by Canada’s foremost experts in the field, this is an<br />
important book to spur discussion and allay fears of those<br />
affected by depression.<br />
