From Surviving To Thriving

From Surviving to Thriving aims to provide guidance on working with adolescents at risk of anti-social behaviours (such as self-harming, eating disorders, substance abuse, school refusal, bullying, depression and suicide), and what factors to consider when developing preventative programs.

The book is written primarily for school counsellors, but is a valuable resource for any professional working with adolescents.

The approach is solutions-oriented, and is informed by family therapy thinking - a contextual approach that takes into account the family, school and peer group.

Practical advice is provided through in depth case histories.
