Fit Mind - Fit Body & Soul
Growing up can be complex. If you are a young person, you probably have a lot of conflicting demands on your time, stress from work and school, and expectations from family, friends and colleagues.

This kit, consisting of a series of "Help Sheets", contains information on these topics and more, and is a young person's guide in the pursuit of positive mental and emotional health.
