Explaining a parent’s depression to a child

Where has the joy gone? is the title of a book explaining a parent’s depression (father or mother) to a child; the book is currently available in 16 different versions, and each version is also available in French, German, Italian, and English. 

When a parent is unwell for a long period of time, the entire family suffers, and especially the children. To help children gain a better understanding of the psychological difficulties experienced by a father or mother, the Novacarta Association has developed a book on depression that is currently available in several versions that correspond to a variety of specific family situations. 

Where has the joy gone? offers children a better understanding of a parent’s depression and will facilitate a return to hope and joy. 

The book can be viewed and purchased on the Novacarta Association website:

Fondation Dora provided financial support to the Novacarta Association for the book’s conception and production.
