Staying Well Facilitator's Guide

Coping when a friend moves away is hard. The Staying Well Facilitator’s Guide contains guidance notes, prompts, and bonus material that helps the facilitator bring out the best experience for the child using the Staying Well Activity Book. This practical guide can be used to support one child or a group of children by parents, class teachers, learning support teachers, and counsellors. Support material is included to help the lead-adult feel confident in their delivery and in responding to questions related to the discussion.

Every page in the Staying Well Activity Book has a corresponding page in the Staying Well Facilitator’s Guide for the user to refer to when delivering the material, each of which features:
