ABSTRACT
Young people today encounter specific challenges and stresses in both educational and social contexts. This resource pack helps participants to:
- Understand the importance of mental health and wellbeing
- Recognise the stresses that they, and other people, face
- Develop effective managing strategies
The authors have designed a flexible programme that encourages young people and adults to respond positively to difficult situations they encounter, focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on set-backs. Topics taught in the 15 sessions include:
- Challenging stereotypes
- Multiple intelligences
- Self-esteem
- Positive communication
- Focusing on strong emotions
- Stress and coping strategies
- Making good decisions
