Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Emotional Wellbeing
Sheila Burton · 2011
72/100
👍 Worth It
For school staff and ELSAs working within the UK educational system, this handbook delivers something genuinely useful: theory, case studies, and ready-to-use activities bundled into one accessible resource. The ELSA framework is established and the Routledge second edition signals real sustained demand. Its value drops sharply outside the UK context, and experienced practitioners may find it introductory, but for its intended audience it is a solid professional tool.
