Part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children
and young people at home and in school, Managing Stress and Distress offers an
accessible introduction to how heightened stress levels in young people can lead to
distressed behaviour - and how to manage both. We have left behind a time when
schools found it easier to exclude 'difficult' children than understand them, but the
evolutionary and psychological factors that often underpin stress responses and their
resulting problematic behaviours remain poorly understood. Offering a complete,
compassionate guide to what stress is, how it arises, the purpose it serves and the
issues it can cause, Stan Godek argues for a trauma-informed approach of managing
short-term distress while also reducing long-term stress levels via a regular practice
of mindfulness - and shows how parents, carers, teachers and schools can help.

Om forfatteren
STAN GODEK is the founder and director of SG
Training and Consultancy. He is a psychologist
with a background of working with children
affected by trauma. His work was informed
first by attachment theory, and later by the
theories of Erik Erikson and Alan Sroufe. He has
worked in the UK, Ireland and Russia, and has
also managed residential childcare services.
Stan has developed a wide range of techniques
and exercises designed to help young people
to self-regulate their moods and emotions, and
to cope more effectively with the various
negative experiences that have impacted on
their lives. He draws on these techniques in
workshops on how mindfulness techniques
can improve concentration and learning in the
classroom, and in the consultancy service he
offers to primary and secondary schools,
residential units and fostering agencies. He is
the author of Mindfulness Techniques for
Children and Young People: A Practical Guide.
