As young people are diagnosed with anxiety and depression in increasing numbers, or dealing with other issues that can isolate them from family and friends-such as bullying, learning disabilities, racism, or homophobia-characters in books can help them feel less alone. And just as important, reading books that feature a diverse range of real-life topics helps generate openness, empathy, and compassion in all kids. Better with Books is a valuable resource for parents, teachers, librarians, therapists, and all caregivers who recognize the power of literature to improve young readers' lives. Each chapter explores a particular issue affecting preteens and teens today and includes a list of recommended related books-all published within the last decade.

Reading lists are organized around: Adoption and foster care; Body image; Immigration; Learning challenges; LGBTQIA+ youth; Mental health; Nature and environmentalism; Physical disability; Poverty and homelessness; Race and ethnicity; Religion and spirituality"--

Unravelling MAiD in Canada : euthanasia and assisted suicide as medical care / by Coelho, Ramona,editor.; Gaind, K. Sonu,editor.; Lemmens, Trudo,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Since Canada legalized in 2016 medical assistance in dying (MAiD), which encompasses both euthanasia and assisted suicide, more than 60,000 Canadians have died by MAiD, the highest number in the world. Not only the internationally unprecedented increase in numbers, but also the expansion of MAiD outside the end-of-life context and plans to introduce MAiD for sole reasons of mental illness, continue to evoke heated societal and political debate. This book discusses in detail how Canada's MAiD law developed and what some of the key social justice and health care concerns are, particularly for specific populations such as disabled persons (including those with mental disabilities) and Indigenous people. Canadian developments are also closely watched around the world. Countries that legalized some form of MAiD or are debating whether to go that route face questions about the consequences of legalization; about what forms of MAiD could be legalized (assisted suicide or euthanasia); and about the efficacy of safeguards. Many want to understand why Canada's MAiD practice has bypassed the most liberal euthanasia regimes in the world and what the implications are for health care and social justice. The chapters in this book are written by leading legal, medical and disability experts who participated directly in the debate. They explore key health care and social justice related issues around the Canadian MAiD law and policy and its potential further expansion. This book will be of interest to Canadian and international academic experts, medical professionals, politicians, students, the legal community, and the broader public."--

Differently wired : raising an exceptional child in a conventional world / by Reber, Deborah,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are--these are what Deborah Reber is calling the "differently wired" kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's, giftedness, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them, the challenges are just as hard--struggling to find the right school, the right therapist, the right parenting group while feeling isolated and harboring endless internal doubts about what's normal, what's not, and how to handle it all. But now there's hope. Written by Deborah Reber, a bestselling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger's, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and the best kind of been-there, done-that companion. On the one hand it's a book of saying NO, and how it's time to say no to trying to fit your round-peg kid into society's square holes, no to educational and social systems that don't respect your child, no to the anxiety and fear that keep parents stuck. And then it's a book of YES. By offering 18 paradigm shifts--what she calls "tilts"-- Reber shows how to change everything. How to "Get Out of Isolation and Connect." "Stop Fighting Who Your Child Is and Lean In." "Let Go of What Others Think." "Create a World Where Your Child Can Feel Secure." "Find Your People (and Ditch the Rest)." "Help Your Kids Embrace Self-Discovery." And through these alternative ways of being, discover how to stay open, pay attention, and become an exceptional parent to your exceptional child"--

Time Passages. by Henry, Kyle,film director.; New Day Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by New Day Films in 2024.In the final months of his mother Elaine’s late-stage dementia, as a pandemic rages across the globe, filmmaker Kyle Henry time travels via his family archive and his own memories to heal past wounds. Theirs is a large Texan family, but as one of Elaine's primary caregivers, the gay son shares a unique and complicated bond with his mother. Charting his mother’s early life and dashed desires through to years of motherhood and self-sacrifice, and tracing their relationship to its inevitable end, TIME PASSAGES playfully reckons with feelings of grief, conflict and loss of control. Beneath the Kodachrome smiles and grainy Super-8 home movies, Henry unearths difficult truths as an act of intergenerational healing that becomes a testament to love, legacy and those things that carry us through life’s most challenging times. Major screenings: Chicago Int'l Film Festival, Austin Film Society Doc Days, Cinequest. “… puts a spotlight on how families grapple with dementia and care … opens the door for connections with other families.” - Remus Jackson, Film Critic, Hyperreal Film ClubMode of access: World Wide Web.
