STAYING COOL
by Paul Lambillion (9780717135981)

Levels of depression, stress and anxiety amongst young people are rising alarmingly each year. Causes vary - school, college, exams, interviews, low self-esteem and problems at home are just some of the things that can spark off problems. Drawing on his extensive experience as a teacher, therapist and father of adolescents, Paul Lambillion looks at the pressures on the young and outlines some simple strategies to help them cope. Addressing the 14-20 age group, he looks at the importance of them taking charge of their lives, of creating space for pausing to clear the mind and just think, and of learning to create some balance in life. 'Staying Cool' offers simple strategies for revision, goal setting, preparing for examinations and interviews, as well as approaches to releasing anger, fears and dealing with sadness. In these times of increasing pressure and assessment, especially on young people, the contents of the book are a vital and useful tool in coping in a demanding social and educational environment, and a sometimes hostile world. 'Staying Cool' should be in every schoolbag, and every educational resource centre.
