All the exercises are photocopiable and the sessions can be adapted easily to meet the specific needs of particular groups or individuals.
"This is a large-format spiral-bound book with lots of examples, exercises, tasks and information for teachers to use with young people. It deals with well-being, choices, what it's like to be at work, and how to achieve good work-life balance. It's a good resource for form tutors and learning mentors and you cant help thinking that it has something to offer to them as well as to the young people they work with."
