‘… I have never seen such an excellent PSHE software resource before’
from DfES Schoolzone evaluation

Designed to raise awareness and understanding of mental health and emotional well-being amongst young people, this program fits the National Curriculum for citizenship and PSHE at both Key Stage 3 and 4.

The program can be used with individuals or a whole class or youth group, and teaches techniques for coping with stresses and strains of modern living such as exams, bullying and helping friends in need.

With graphic exercises, video-based multi-outcome games, the testimonials of young people, a jargon busting section and a wealth of advice and tips and a comprehensive printable list of contact telephone numbers and websites, this is a must-have resource for PSHE teachers and for all those involved with the emotional well-being of young people aged 12-16 yrs.

"At no time did any pupils complain or want to stop, in fact it was difficult to get them to stop at the end of sessions. A clear sign of a good program."
