Growing Up Resilient The Mediational Intervention for Sensitizing Caregivers (MISC)

"We have all looked for a unifying framework that integrates interventions with vulnerable children regardless of setting or discipline. MISC is the most powerful pan-theoretical framework currently available as invaluable and effective guide to support mental health interventions in social care, education or community settings. It is breathtakingly simple in implementation yet breath-taking in its scope. An inspiring contribution for all those working with vulnerable youth."

"Like the MISC itself, this book is filled with care and concern about all children, especially vulnerable children. Although we, as a civilization, claim to strive for every child to reach their potential, reality, reflected in the UN's reported figure of 200,000,000 children failing to thrive, demands much more systematic effort. The MISC, and those who preach and practice it, are at the forefront of society's efforts to support every child. As long as there are children who need support, the MISC and its practitioners, including the contributors to this volume, are in high demand and deserve the highest respect."
