Proactive Pastoral Careis a vital guide to enable secondary teachers to empower their students to make healthy life choices and look after their wellbeing, both in school and beyond.

It also includes a foreword by Dr Pooky Knightsmith, an internationally renowned mental health educator, speaker and author.

Maria introduces refreshing, proactive techniques that can be put into practice straight away to create a supportive learning environment.
