Our popular Living Life to the Full classes have proved popular and effective for adults. Due to this, we are excited to announce the launch of Living Life to the Full classes for Young People, targeted for 11-18 year olds.

The course has been adapted from feedback gathered in school focus groups. Key features include:

• Same 8 session course topics as the adult Living Life Course.
• Content, worksheets and booklets adapted based on young persons’ feedback.
• Content and support scripts highlight life worries and challenges relevant to teenagers and other young people.
• Artwork updated to suit this age group.
• Powerpoint slides to run the course with all resources you need in PDF format, including worksheets to highlight learning from the sessions.
• Adapted speaker notes to help throughout every stage of the course.
