Heart Masters - Coping Strategies for Secondary Students: A PSHE Programme for Managing Stress, Improving Behaviour and Developing Study Skills (Lucky Duck Books)

`Wonderful, wonderful book. Elegant in its simplicity; resourceful in its elegance. It’s directed at teenage students, but its exercises and activities would be useful to people of any age, and not simply those with emotional or learning difficulties' - Joe Sincalair, Nuturing Potential

Another exciting resource in the Heart Masters series to promote resilience and emotional development. Based on the work of the late Dr Chris Madden whose research with teenagers found they had eight styles of coping with pressure ranging from positive strategies (self-care and problem-solving) to negative styles (denial and acting out).

The book focuses on three significant problems for teenagers: stress, behaviourand study.

With full facilitator notes, discussion points, activities, worksheets and 30 copying cards this programme will help teenagers' understanding of both positive and negative responses to the challenges of teenage life.
