Description

Stories are an invaluable tool for connecting with people, especially those reluctant to engage with more direct approaches. This powerful resource presents ten original, emotive and illustrated short stories designed to guide therapeutic work with adolescents and young adults in the classroom or consulting room by promoting emotional resilience and independent thinking. Developed with clients challenged by difficulties including depression, autism and eating disorders, the stories are proven in practice and supported by case studies, scripts, tableaus and activities. They tackle a wide range of specific mental health challenges such as trauma, separation, rejection, independence, hope and recovery. Each concludes with reflective questions that empower and guide young people to find their own way forward. The mental health of young people is a growing global concern, and finding innovative ways to promote positive well-being is therefore vital. Clear and straightforward, yet richly suffused with metaphor, the stories contained in Find Your Way are a powerful tool for anyone seeking to help young people move beyond adversity in the way that suits them best.
