Hi Jane (and apologies to all for mistakently forwarded insight into
Arabic etiquette)

I like 'Children's Solution Work' by Insoo Kom Berg and Therese
Steiner,published by Norton.

The StLuke's resources are also very useful,there are various sets of
cards ie The Bears,Strength cards, I Can Monsters.They can be ordered
via www.incentiveplus.co.uk

What does your new role entail?Perhaps we should have a phone
conversation early in the new year.

Anita

Hello Anita, good to hear from you and thanks, sounds like you're doing
what
you're good at and helping others sounds great.....yes the new job will
be
interesting i keep rehersing what I'm going to be doing in my mind - but
as
yet don't really know what the job involves, what I do have a sense of,
is
the culture gap between mental health and education.

Have looked up schools and SF on amazon - if anyone has any
recommendations
for books I can share or use or anything else useful, I would be most
interested and Anita if you have any advice ideas thoughts you don't
mind
sharing I would love to hear. Not sure what I can offer in return but do
ask
if there is anything.

Keep on keeping on........Jane.
