Author Description

"In Troubled Children and Youth: Turning Problems into Opportunities, clinicians, teachers, youth professionals, mentors, and parents are presented with research-based strategies that will help them improve their relationships with youth, including those who have been ignored, discarded, and branded as incorrigible. While opening the door to a positive, strength-based approach to helping youth, the book reinforces a vital principle that tribal communities have embraced for centuries. Every child is precious, and even those who are lost and marginalized can and should be reclaimed by society."--BOOK JACKET.
