Using photocopiable and electronic resources, Erica Frydenberg
provides teachers with strategies that will enable students to
combat stress and depression in the classroom. Depression is being
experienced in epidemic proportions in many Western societies, and
there is great concern over the number of young people who are
suffering, sometimes to the extent of committing suicide. This book
aims to help prevent stress and depression by taking a positive
approach to the promotion of health and well being in young people,
giving them the skills to cope with the problems of everyday life
at school and at home. Erica Frydenberg introduces the theory
behind a cognitive behavioural approach to coping skills and offers
a program of modules that teachers or other professionals can use
with young people to train them in coping skills. The principle
that underscores this program is that we can all do what we do
better. If we do not like how we cope in certain contexts we can
learn new strategies. It is possible to enhance and develop one's
coping if we have a framework within which to do that. The program
is designed to have universal application and can be taught in any
group or class setting. Nevertheless, instructors will be able to
bring their own experience and adaptations to the sessions.
