  Designed for teachers, psychologists and counsellors, this book presents evidence-based strategies and concepts that help foster a sense of school belonging amongst students. Feeling a sense of school belonging has been linked to better mental health outcomes in adolescents, increased school performance and greater retention rates. Comprised of six modules that explore connecting to parents, teachers, friends, self, learning and help, it can be used in an individual or group context, and also as a therapeutic tool or a prevention tool. Each module has an introductory section outlining how the module may be adapted to different contexts to ensure young people connect with and stay at school.
