Young People In Focus

GETTING ALONG
A resource for young people in foster care 2007
Kevin Lowe, Jayne Hellett, Stephanie Stace, Young People in Focus

I like the content of the magazine as it gives useful advice on how to live your life as a foster child.

Young man

The magazine will prove to be a great resource (for) our social workers to use with foster carers to help them increase their understanding of what young people need and feel, and then to use the book with children in placement.

Fostering Manager

GRIEF ENCOUNTER
Grief Encounter Project, by Shelley Gilbert

Grief encounter is a workbook designed to encourage conversations about death between children and adults.

Extremely well written, accessible in its language and approach, with strong appeal to ordinary parents and children faced with bereavement. There is nothing scary about this book; it is hands-on, user-friendly and full of useful ideas to help a child understand his or her feelings. It will also help the parent/guardian to understand the child and find a way to bring comfort together. I wish I had been given the guidance of a book like this, to show me a way to open up and share my feelings of bereavement as a child.

Helen Levene, Editor Puffin Books.
