The Key, A Social Emotional Toolkit for Teens is a teaching tool for teenagers. Under the umbrella of emotional intelligence, The Key addresses various life skills and coping mechanisms to help teens better understand themselves and deal with the day to day pressures of school, peers and family. At every step there are self-enquiry exercises, explanations and 'things you can do'. Through self-awareness, writing therapy, Youtube and discussion, this book addresses a range of topics and themes we should have learnt as young people, but often didn't.
In psychological development, adolescence is the period of self-discovery and identity - discovering who they are as they make the sometimes difficult transition from childhood to adulthood. This is a vital time in their lives to learn life skills and coping strategies as they move forward to becoming young adults.
As a professional social worker, I have worked in the areas of homelessness, drug and alcohol and mental and emotional health across Australia, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom, Vietnam, India, Cambodia and Thailand, working with locals and international teenagers and adults. Working with teenagers I noticed they were often ill-equipped to self soothe and define what was wrong, exploding or withdrawing due to lack of coping skills. Working with adults from all over the world in holistic counselling I discovered that our issues often boiled down to one thing - we never learnt the skills to cope with daily stresses or major life crisis. The Key aims to address this gap and go back to basics to help us learn about ourselves and our place in the world in order to live a full and emotionally healthy life. This book is for everyone.
The Key, A Social Emotional Toolkit for Teens is both a book and a course. The book is thorough and offers Youtube videos to help with some of the more tricky topics such as anxiety, understanding negative thoughts and three different types of basic breathing and meditations. Any teenger or parent could read it without additional guidance. Teen counsellors and school counsellors can use it is a resource and schools or community groups can teach it as a course.
In 2017 and 2018 The Key was taught by the author as a 10 week curriculum in the top school in the State of Victoria, Australia. It is appropriate to be taught to 12-20 year olds. The author's aim is for every teenager in the world to have access to a set of skills that will help them navigate smoothly through life's journey and lead socially, emotionally and mentallly healthy lives.
The author is also available for additional support with individuals, group workshops or to teach the course.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
