Promoting emotional well-being should be at the heart of all work with young people. The sessions in this toolkit aim to:
• Build resilience in young people so that they are better equipped to deal with the challenges that come their way
• Raise awareness of mental health, the stigma that surrounds it and how best to respond
• Address particular issues which may affect young people’s emotional well-being
• Encourage young people to reach out for support if they need it.
