This workbook offers all the necessary tools to support your child’s success, no matter where you are. As one general practitioner said, 'This is a great resource for rural Australia where a lack of services across mental health is often experienced. Parents and allied health professionals alike will benefit from this resource.'If you’re a parent seeking to support your tween or teen with ADHD and build a better life for your family, What Lies Beneath Matters is the perfect book for you.
