The need for this book is especially important at a time when so many of our children and young people are reporting threats to their mental health and positivity related to their experiences in the current pandemic, as well as the reported negative impacts of climate change on their futures. Emotional health and well-being are central to optimal development – intellectual, physical and social. In terms of education, we cannot learn optimally if we feel threatened, and this edited collection offers a wide variety of potential solutions for schools (and families) in our quest to promote a greater sense of positive agency and inclusion in future generations.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Graham F Welch, UCL Institute of Education, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Editors \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Contributing Authors \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1.
