Sommario/riassunto

Based on author Chris Parry-Mitchell's successful work across a range of schools, this book consists of 10 sessions that make up a program to help students who are at risk of exclusion. The young people learn



how to think, communicate, behave and relate to each other and other people in more useful ways. Everything in this book has been tried and tested with young people who are at risk within their school settings, and for most of them it has been a turning point in their lives.
