Yamashita, Hiroshi, Kenichi Yamane, Daisuke Katsuki, Keiko Yoshida. Chapter in Mental Health and Illness of Children and Adolescents, August 2020

Parents and other caretakers need information, resources, and services to provide nurturing care. Practitioners should implement high-quality interventions that simultaneously target multiple risks and build on existing delivery platforms to enhance scaling and sustainability.
