A reflective guide to helping young people dealing with difficult personal circumstances.
A guide to teenage pastoral care formed of example discussions between veteran counsellor Nick Luxmoore and young people on a range of topics surrounding normal life being interrupted. Includes advice on anxiety, bullying, mental health, trauma, anger and loss.
This book provides ways to support and counsel young people struggling to adapt and live with the constant possibility of things breaking down, of normal life being overtaken by chaos. Covering many different types of 'everyday chaos' including anxiety, bullying, mental health, trauma, anger and loss, this book is an incredibly useful guide for anyone working with young people at a time when these issues are more prevalent than ever. It was inspired by the author's daughter's accidental death aged 27.
Written in a warm and down-to-earth tone, the chapters use a variety of case studies to lead through examples on a range of problems young people are facing.
