Themes that are commonly faced by teens, including trauma, grief, loss, emotional issues, sexual development, and peers are covered.
A diverse range of adolescents from both urban and non-urban settings are examined.
This book addresses a broad audience that includes students in behavioral health training, counseling, and school programs; the practicing provider; and administrative/clinical supervisors and educators.
