​About the book:

​"Relationships Matter is a compassionate, evidence-based guide to understanding children’s mental health through the lens of connection. Drawing on decades of experience working with children and families, author Janet Morrison explores how resilience is shaped not only at home, but through relationships at school, in communities, and in the broader culture.

​This is not another prescriptive parenting book. This is a book about strengthening the many relationships that impact a child’s mental health and wellbeing, and how these relationships help children to feel safe, supported, and able to thrive in a rapidly changing world."
