Synopsis
The lessons in this full-colour student handbook help students - especially youth who are transitioning to employment - develop literacy levels, lifeskills and the multi-dimensional competencies they need to think and act independently at the workplace. Suitable for use as part of an employment preparation program or independent reading.
Printed in a visually-appealing, full-colour format, the reading passages in this handbook offers practical content on various related topics, and reads more like a magazine than a textbook. Topics covered include:
Prevention: Physical fitness, hygiene, nutrition, safety at home
Getting Medical Attention: Health insurance, the doctor's office, dental treatment, mental health
Handling Health Problems: Recognizing warning signs, first aid and the emergency room, prescription and over-the-counter medicines
Avoiding Health Hazards: Resisting peer pressure, tobacco, alcohol and illegal drugs, infectious diseases
A companion workbook - sold separately - is also available, and can be used together with the handbook or separately. The lessons in the workbook co-relate with the units in the handbook.
