Youth Pack
The Youth
Pack is a useful resource for teachers or those
working with young people.
Published in 1999
This pack helps you to introduce young people to a range of
issues that affect emotional health and wellbeing. From the moment
of birth, as we grow and develop, emotional issues affect us all,
to a greater or lesser extent. Often the transition from childhood
to adulthood is an extremely emotional one and, for many young
people, emotional confusion commonly associated with puberty and
adolescence may ultimately lead to dejection, distress, despair and
suicide.
This pack has been produced to support teachers and others in
their work with young people, by providing resource materials and
suggesting ways these may be used to facilitate the emotional
health and well being of the young people with whom they work. A
short evaluation form has been included at the back of this pack.
It would be extremely helpful if you would take a few minutes to
fill it in and return it to us.
It contains a series of practical workshops and information in
the following areas:
- Helping you to help Young People
- Emotional health and wellbeing
- Stress Anxiety and Fear
- Isolation
- To introduce young people to a range of issues that affect
