Product Description
This timely book addresses one of the biggest single problems facing society today--at-risk behavior in one quarter of our nation's youth--and provides strategies for prevention and treatment that can be implemented in the schools, in the homes, and by helping professionals in a variety of settings. Whether the term "at risk" is associated with a local school district's problems with child and adolescent suicide and school dropouts, the correction system's concerns about juvenile delinquency, or the health system's concerns with teen pregnancy, child abuse, and AIDS, the individuals labeled at-risk need the ongoing help of professional--and this book can set the stage.
