"There isn’t a day that goes by when we don’t use The Decider Life Skills with our young people. The variety of skills showed in the handbook ensures that each person can select the skills that work for their individual needs. The trainers book is just as clearly written as the young person's handbook, which makes it really simple to teach with individuals or small groups." EC

"The Decider Skills offer a fun and interactive opportunity to engage young people and their families in a DBT skills approach without the formality of “textbook” DBT . I would highly recommend them to other CAMHS teams . The Life Skills are a gift for all and I would advocate that they should be incorporated into the education curriculum within PHSE lessons." SM

"The Decider Life Skills are a really helpful way to engage children and young people in discussions around their mental wellbeing and emotional health. Not only is the handbook clear, it is fun and engaging too." RC

Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, Adult Primary Care
"I regularly incorporate The Decider Life Skills into my therapy sessions. The Decider Life Skills are simple, but very effective practical skills that can be used by everyone. Many of my clients have reported that they have found the skills very useful and helpful in managing their difficulties." LF
High School Teacher
"We've been using The Decider Life Skills for over a year now at school and have seen a marked improvement in the way that the students tackle difficulties in their everyday life. The Decider Life Skills have been a really fun way to teach the students (and ourselves!) to take responsibility for their emotions and actions and to act in a more thoughtful way. The visuals really help in our class as an instant reminder of each skill and the whole package has just made teaching about mental health and wellbeing so simple and fun." LV

“The children’s responses were so positive- all noting substantial changes in their capacity to manage emotions. Wow! The strength and value in this, is having a whole school language for children to articulate their feelings. It is used across the school, in managing situations."
