Reviews

I feel sure anyone working with young people would find this a beneficial and easily accessible resource. For those working with difficult youngsters who would not fit into a group and for parents who are finding communication difficult with their teenager(s), there are many varied ideas from which they, too, could choose. -- Counselling Children and Young People I bought Let's Talk Relationships to use with young people in Brazil who had moved from favelas in central Rio to a rural setting on the outskirts of the city. I am extremely glad I made the purchase! This book helped me throughout my time working with young people in Brazil, especially when I was asked to design a sex and relationships course. The great variety of activities, clear layout and detailed yet straightforward guidance was invaluable. The majority of activities worked really well in a cross-cultural environment. There really is something for everyone in this book! -- Sophia Davies, Youth Worker, Youth Connexions
