Making It Count is a workbook geared to upper intermediate and advanced students taking English as a Second Language in the Quebec Cégep system. What makes this book unique is that it targets themes that are directly related to the most recent research in mental health and well-being. The last few years have been a rocky ride for many students and now is the time to make the conscious effort to learn how to improve, maintain and optimise your mental health and happiness. This book is structured like a typical ESL textbook, with reading, listening, writing, and speaking exercises, but the focus is on covering material that counts towards increasing both your knowledge and personal sense of well-being. Should you choose to implement the tips, strategies and action items that are presented within these pages by the end of the course you will be better equipped to continue to take on the challenges that lay ahead during these uncertain times. The strategy behind Making it Count is to encourage you to take concrete steps to up your wellness game while continuing to improve and practice your English as you move forward in attaining your goals for a brighter and better future
