Pooky Knightsmith is an autistic educator, speaker, author, and mental health trainer whose resources are widely used in schools. She is a parent to neurodivergent children, has a PhD in child mental health from the Institute of Psychiatry and is the former chair of the Children and Young People's Mental Health Coalition. Pooky has published many books with JKP including The Mentally Healthy Schools Workbook and Can I Tell You About Self-Harm? She is based in Sussex, UK.

Drawing on the voices of young people, this is a truly excellent book for teachers and anyone working in schools. It offers clear, practical advice that can easily and safely be used. It will give you the confidence to support a young person facing these issues without being an expert. I highly recommend it.
