This 180-page resource from Brook consists of eight ready-made sessions for professionals working with young people at Key Stages 3 and 4. The small group sessions involve role-plays that enable the group to explore how sexually transmitted infections can be passed on, plus issues such as myths about risk taking. There are ground rules for sex education classes and a glossary that includes slang terms.

Can I talk to you again?
Most children and young people who contact ChildLine call it once to get advice. But a small but significant number call regularly, sometimes at scheduled times to talk to the same counsellor. This book tells the stories of some of the regular callers. As well as providing insight on how to respond to problems such as abuse, bullying and suicidal thoughts, it offers recommendations on improving mental health services.
