Rave Reviews:
I wish every classroom teacher, parent and health educator could have a copy of Storper’s excellent guidebook. Projects for making a difference in the world, relaxation techniques, role playing, plus lots of activities and discussion questions are what make this guidebook such a wonderful resource. HIGHLY recommended.”

As someone teaching body image to middle and high school students for over ten years, I think your workbook, Hands-On Health, is FANTASTIC. I highly recommend this for anyone teaching body image programs to kids. IT IS THE BEST.”

A registered dietitian developed this activity book, and all of the information included is factual and developmentally appropriate for its intended audience… There is easily enough material in the kit to be integrated into the classroom over an entire semester… provides all of the materials necessary to share powerful health messages with adolescents.”
