Many churches now have child protection policies, and yet, despite growing awareness, there is still a great need for greater understanding of abuse of all kinds. An essential read for all those who have experienced abuse themselves, pastors and youth workers, this guide explains the effect of all kinds of abuse on the victim, abusers and the wider community. It goes on to give guidelines for good leadership and pastoral care to prevent abuse and to support survivors. Separate chapters deal with working with offenders.

Help! How can I discipline my child?

This booklet is practical and hands-on, providing advice on some of the most important areas, such as respecting  individuality, setting boundaries and dealing appropriately with unacceptable behaviour.

 

All Help booklets are 25p each.

Help...Domestic Violence! How should my church respond?
!
dvhelp

Domestic violence is perhaps one of the most sensitive areas for any place of worship to deal with. Sadly some in the Christian fraternity fail to respond appropriately, mainly through ignorance, but in some instances use the bible to justify abusive behaviour. This booklet is challenging but informative and gives much practical advice and guidance on supporting all those affected by domestic violence.

 

All Help booklets are 25p each.

Helping Adolescents and Adults to Build Self-Esteem

By Deborah M Plummer (Paperback - 22 Sep 2004)

(Jessica Kingsley Publishing)

 

A Photocopiable resource book filled with simple, practical and innovative ideas for the development and maintenance of a healthy self-esteem. A4 268pp.

 

Synopsis:

A healthy level of individual self-esteem is the foundation for emotional, physcial and social well-being. People who value themselves and who recognise their own skills are likely to live fulfulling and rewarding lives and will tend to attract genuine liking and respect from other. Conversely, low levels of self-esteem have been linked with such personal and social concerns as school failure, depression, social anxiety, violence and substance abuse. Helping Adolescents and Adults to Build Self-Esteem follows on from the widely acclaimed Helping Children to Build Self-Esteem. It is filled with simple, practical and innovative ideas for supporting the development and maintenance of healthy self-esteem. Based on the author's clinical experience, the easy-to-use photocopiable activity sheets encourage participants to draw on existing skills and to develop new approaches to building confidence and feelings of self-worth. These exercises are suitable for work with individuals and with groups, and will prove an indispensable aid to building self-esteem in adolescents and individuals.
