life skills guides

Hutchings draws on her own experiences and those of many teens who speak openly about their issues - everything from family break-ups and troubled friends, to cutting, cyber-bullying and experiencing the death of a parent. They talk candidly about dealing with difficult emotions and what did or did not help them. Most importantly, they share the insights they gained that helped them heal and move forward. Alongside the teen voices are sections containing expert advice, practical tips, websites and many other supportive resources to use as you find your way through teenage life.
