- planning and evaluation forms
- a three-term intervention plan for schools
- over 60 structured activity sessions focussing on social skills
- all the supplementary handouts and images needed to deliver the sessions.
This second edition is presented with full-colour illustrations and handouts, and includes a new introduction by Alex Kelly reflecting on her own experiences of using the resources since they were first developed.
