Description

Today’s children struggle with a range of issues, from depression and anxiety to poor body image and low self-esteem. In fact, research suggests that at any given time, around 10 per cent of students will be suffering from a mental health issue that directly impacts their education and health.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the subject of Dr Russ Harris’s bestselling The Happiness Trap, has been proven effective in teaching young people flexible strategies for dealing with life stressors. These principles are now brought to life in this graphic novel.

By following the main character, Holly, through her encounters with monsters symbolising her inner doubts and unpleasant thoughts, children will learn how to deal with their own issues. They will develop a more resilient mental attitude and achieve better emotional balance.
