In this empowering and hopeful handbook, Youth Mental Health Ambassador Dr Alex George is here to show us how. I would say the book is aimed at kids aged 10-16 roughly. But also great to read as a parent of a child in that age range to help gain a better understanding of children's mental health. The book remains positive throughout and you get the feeling that the author has personal lived experience, and understands well the struggles that the reader may be going through. Written by the award-winning author and podcaster Elizabeth Day, this is a sensible, kind and practical tool for all teenagers (and adults!) showing how to re-frame supposed failures into essential parts of life that we can learn from. A Better Day is a positive, accessible and practical toolkit guiding young readers in how they can care for their mental health with confidence. From peer pressure and exam stress to online trolls and anxiety, life can be mentally draining. But though life is full of ups and downs, there are ways you can stay on top of your mental health - including overcoming stigma, talking about your feelings, developing resilience and switching your mindset.

In part three of the book (“A Better Day”) there’s useful advice about maintaining a healthy diet, being creative, sleeping well and developing resilience and mental strength to be able to deal with the problems that come as part of life.
