A Better Day by Dr Alex George - downloadable resources

What if we could think of mental health in a positive way?

In this empowering and hopeful handbook, Youth Mental Health Ambassador Dr Alex George is here to show us how.

A Better Day is a positive, accessible and practical toolkit guiding young readers in how they can care for their mental health with confidence.

This book provides all the scaffolding and practical techniques to help children deal with everything from peer pressure to exam stress to online trolls, and help them look toward their future with optimism and positivity. Because no matter what, there is always hope for a better day.

We would love to see you enjoying the resources on social media with #ABetterDay and tagging HachetteKids, dralexgeorge (on Instagram only) and readingagency.
