Everyone experiences the world differently. The way you feel, think and react is shaped by your body, your senses and what is happening around you. You do not need to have all the answers; this booklet will help you notice what is going on for you and find what helps you feel more comfortable and in control should you feel any type of stress, upset or overwhelm. 
On this page, you'll find booklets, videos and audio resources packed with information, hints, and tips to guide you. Everything here has been researched, suggested, and co-produced by young people.
