Through accounts of his individual and group work with young people, the author demonstrates how listening to, engaging with and being respectful of young people can provide the support they need to help them repair their sense of self and offer them new possibilities and directions in life.
When Grace was three, her parents slit up and she went to live with her father while her sister stayed with her mother. Allie has slipped behind with her school work since falling out with her best friend and any positive feelings about himself that Conor may have dared to develop have been beaten out of him by his father.
This compassionate and thought-provoking book will be an invaluable resource for counsellors, teachers, youth workers and anyone working to help young people with self-esteem issues.
