• to encourage young people to embark upon their own healing journeys, equipped with the sense that there is a way forward.

• clear and concise coverage of risk factors and warning signs relating to the issue covered in the story
• detailed exploration of each therapeutic session in the story so that you can devise you own sessions that link to the therapy in the story
