American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry -- Facts for Families

About this site: The AACAP is dedicated to helping the estimated 7 to 12 million young Americans who have mental, behavioral, or development disorders. In addition to its advocacy and clinical research initiatives, the organization publishes nearly 100 fact sheets for families on developmental issues that affect children and teens. There’s something for every parent: Topics cover everything from the questions to ask before considering psychiatric hospitalization or medication, to more subtle difficulties, like how to deal with a child who won’t go to school.
