This practical resource provides the tools to help individuals explore their ambitions, set goals and plan to achieve them, manage their lives and gain the skills to make their hopes and dreams a reality.

The sessions cover: Dealing with stress, Coping with change, Being assertive, Overcoming relationship conflict, Organising your time, Dealing with disappointment, Keeping records and Creating an impression. It is an ideal resource for youth leaders, teachers, support workers, occupational therapists, social workers and probation staff.
