Synopsis
Bridging theory and practice, the up-to-date evidence from these proceedings marks an important contribution to the advancement of children and youth health and well-being professions in the issues of technology, health, stress, inclusion, and resilience. The empirical research reported here examines the perceptions of parents, social workers, counselors, and other helping professionals concerning their awareness of child protection and parent-child relationships.
These proceedings serve as a catalyst for action, enabling researchers and practitioners to reference and view the newest research through the lenses of diverse themes that focus on children and youth health and well-being, and to impact the younger population at micro and macro levels. This key text has several important features:
1. It emphasizes the impact of digital technology on well-being among children and young people in this digital age, and how to involve different stakeholders who can help to respond to emergent and existing challenges.
2. It introduces learning disabilities and issues in the field of mental stress and the biopsychology of developmental needs in school settings in addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
3. It advances health knowledge and care practice through practice-oriented research, establishing new benchmarks in health care work, identifying its possibilities and constraints.
4. It enriches knowledge in the field of safeguarding for adults, including parental involvement in identifying and responding to children and youth well-being.
