SEALS II is a selection of the best handouts from the even more popular Life Management Skills III and IV. These activities have also been adapted for use with middle school through high school aged youth. Contains 80 reproducible activity-based handouts. It is hard not to overpraise these books; for those working in the area of adolescent - teenage mental health. I gather that these books are the distillation of experience from many social workers and mental health therapists working with this age group. And each page contains the reproduceable outline/structure for a group session(including professional looking graphics) on whichever of the 75 topics in each book covers, and on the reverse of each page are the leaders notes and discussion points designed to keep the group both moving, yet on the topic. At least one customer, with fairly inexperienced staff, was up and running groups within a week after buying these books and she was very complementary (even grateful) as to their contribution.
