Adolescence can be a difficult period. It is a time of increasing demands from parent, teachers and society, of growing interest and reliance on friends and of mounting pressures from school. It is also a time when young people want to gain greater independence and establish their own identity as adults. With all of those changes happening, sometimes it may feel like you are not in control.

Taking Charge is a practical guide to managing some of the challenges that invariably arise during adolescence. It spells out step-by-step strategies that can make a big difference to the way you feel about yourself, the people that you deal with and the things that are happening in your life. Using the principles of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Taking Charge is grounded in evidence-based techniques that have been shown to work.

Taking Charge! is full of useful information, exercises and activities that can help you to pick yourself up at times when you are feeling down. It can also help you to avoid getting stressed, anxious or down in the first place.
