What do young people need to know about their health - and how can
you help them learn it? This practical guide will help you to
broach health subjects (ranging from the banal to the embarrassing
to the deadly serious) with the adolescents you encounter in your
professional life. Drawing on research and collaboration with
specialists in areas such as dietetics, mental health, drugs and
alcohol, fitness, education and careers, along with young people
themselves, Hot Topics in Adolescent Health provides a range of
support mechanisms for professionals working with young people.
Using interactive methods of delivery, this practical guide and
complimentary CD provide figures, diagrams and suggested activities
to explore each topic within a group setting and point to other
resources for further information. The book covers both the basic
and more detailed issues beginning with an introduction to
adolescence and puberty before exploring key issues such as body
image, diet and exercise, mental health, drugs, alcohol,
relationships and sex (including contraception, sexual health,
pregnancy and abortion) - giving lots of inspiration on how to
confidently answer those tricky questions. Sections on consent and
confidentiality when working with young people, as well as a vital
summary of child protection policy and procedure, will also prove
useful. It is highly recommended for healthcare professionals,
teachers, therapists, counsellors, community group leaders and all
people working with adolescents.
