Young people explore parental alcohol misuse.
Young Voice film

There is a lot of education around young people using alcohol and binge drinking, however questions aren't asked about a parent's drinking.

Parental alcohol misuse is often hidden. Young people do not like people talking about their parents, are protective towards them, and their drinking is often a source of shame. The DVD brings out the issue of teenagers becoming young carers because they hide the fact that their parents misuse alcohol.

Film approx 16 minutes pack also includes a discussion guide

A Young Voice film made by young people for separating parents and anyone working with families.

The purpose of this film is to help and support children and their families going through the experience of parental conflict and relationship breakdown.

In the film we see four scenes in the life of a family - from the point of view of the children, Maya, Joe and little Sasha. Here is the opportunity for mediators, parent group facilitators and all those working with parents, to share these messages from young people and explore how parents can respond.

MAJOR REDUCTION £29.99 (previously £49)

Wavelength contains 140-pages packed with practical ideas for engaging with young people. It covers 50 different techniques such as making lists, an ideas exhibition, using scenario cards, drawing relationships, a graffiti-wall, diamond ranking, dot voting, freeze the scene, sculpting and non-verbal language. It explains how these techniques work and provides suggestions of when to use them. The methods suit both group-work and work with individuals.

In my opinion [the approaches in Wavelength] can be adapted to suit any situation. I will consult with this book on a regular basis, and am looking forward to exploring the vast range of activities provided in it.
