Success Working with Young People: How to adopt a mindfulness-based approach

SUCCESS WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE explores how you might adopt a more mindful approach to working with young people and provides practical advice on how to meet the needs of young people. More specifically, it will help you to: develop a greater awareness and understanding of yourself and what it means to be authentic; understand young people, including vulnerable young people, and the context of their lives; adopt a more mindful approach to working with young people; handle the pressures and challenges of working with young people, including young people's (sometimes) challenging behaviour; assess the effectiveness of your work with young people; understand and manage the context in which you are working. Author Maureen O'Callaghan provides information and guidance based upon recognised best practice and up-to-date research, along with tried and tested activities designed to help you reflect upon your experience and then to apply what you have learned.
