Learning to Self-Manage

Learning to self-manage is a crucial life skill. But for many teens, this important part of their social and emotional learning is often overlooked. This book provides young people with the essential tools they need to better manage their thoughts, emotions, and actions, and in turn, their mental health and well-being.

The book provides teen case studies that highlight how using self-management skills helps people overcome difficult problems and shows readers how they can work on these skills too. Recaps of tools discussed in each chapter are provided, along with studies into teen mental health that highlight why self-management is a key life skill.
