Coping with life's stresses is difficult for everybody, but can be
especially challenging for teenagers who feel isolated and
misunderstood. Creative expression through art, craft and writing
is a very natural and effective way of helping young people to
explore and communicate personal identity. This book is bursting
with art and journal projects, creative challenges, and miniature
projects for personal spaces, all of which help teenagers to
understand and express who they are and what is important to them.
Activities are diverse, can be tailored to suit the individual, and
require minimal equipment and even less artistic know-how, so can
be enjoyed by all. The book concludes with a useful appendix for
counsellors and other professionals who work with young people,
which explains how these activities can be incorporated into
treatment goals. This imaginative and insightful book will be a
useful resource for all therapists, social workers and counsellors
who wish to encourage self-expression in teens.
