Help for children and adolescents with a severe mental illness after inpatient treatment is immensely important. There is a meta-manual that contains various individual manuals on important topics such as suicide.

Of course, the people on site should also be able to access the individual manuals on which the meta-manual is based. However, access is expensive and therefore usually inaccessible to those affected. At the request of a project of the ‘Clinic and Polyclinic for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy at Cologne University Hospital’, there is now a solution for all practitioners, patients and family members: 22 specialist books and manuals on child and adolescent psychiatry from the Hogrefe publishing house are available to registered ZB MED remote access users throughout Germany following successful licensing. This has closed an important supply gap.
