Bipolar Bears
A storybook for children who have a mum or dad with Bipolar Disorder
This beautifully illustrated children´s book,
finished in watercolour provides wonderful pictures aimed at children
from 5 years old. The book follows the story of Daddy Bear and his
family as he has a Bipolar episode. His children are dragged along on
his rollercoaster ride where he starts many activities-but before they
are finished, he moves onto the next. The book explains what can happen
during a manic episode and then how a doctor and rest can help calm
Daddy Bear's very busy brain.
This wonderful story helps children understand the behaviours associated with Bipolar Disorder.
Bipolar Bears is a 24 page, A4 book and is available to purchase at $15 plus postage.

The Anger Toolbox
Tools for children and teens, and for those caring for them, to get through angry times.
The Anger Toolbox, with its friendly, honest style, uses evidence-based information and local New
Zealand support contacts. It looks at what anger is, the effects it can have on us and the different
strategies children, teens and adults can learn to manage it safely and well. It is written by Tricia Irving Hendry, John Taylor Smith and Jenny McIntosh, who have brought to it their backgrounds in parenting, grand-parenting, teaching, writing, school leadership, counselling, nursing, youth and community work. They have also consulted widely with specialists and researchers to develop this handbook.
