Behavioural issues : a practical programme to support young people

This is one of a series of 3 books, which focus on the real issues, problems and concerns of teenagers in today's increasingly diverse and complex society.

It presents hard-hitting and realistic scenarios, based upon the real life experiences of our pupils at the Hillingdon Tuition Centre, and the programme will help young people to reflect on their behaviours and the behaviours and motivations of others.

Each book contains: background and rationale for the programme; notes for facilitators as to how to deliver the programme including pre- and post course measures for students participating; 8 topic areas presented in scenario form with additional resources including a question and answer session, image card activity, take home task and an evaluation form; and a CD Rom containing PowerPoint presentation and OHT (questions and answers), audio version of each character card and copies of image cards and take home tasks.

The 8 chapters in this book cover issues pertinent and relevant to adolescent students such as drug abuse, date rape, anti-social behaviours, and peer pressure. The scenarios are based upon real life situations and events and are therefore truly meaningful and relevant to today's teenagers.
