How to build up positive coping strategies and Ideas who to go to or where to look if you are mentally struggling. . What I feel teens (and adults)would find most helpful is the no nonsense explanations why we feel anxiety, lack of confidence etc. Nicola explains these feelings are natural and most importantly can be dealt with and actually you can use those feelings to grow stronger. . When there are limited resources available for mental Health and it's a postcode lottery whether we can get Access to the type of help and support needed this is a invaluable guidebook to have in your armoury. It doesn't pretend to cure but instead and more importantly will provide tools to build up your mental skills and resilience thereby giving a comfort and confidence. . .A must for us all. I found it inspiring, comforting and came away feeling a stronger sense of purpose and positivity.
