The chapters cover a huge range of important topics, including the role of social media and the fashion industry, eating difficulties in the context of autism, and how best to support the LGBTQ+ community and those from diverse religious backgrounds. It explores the value of exercise, nutrition and sleep, and considers support from parents and schools for children.
