Summary:

This book guided mental health professionals to break the cycle of at-risk behavior by engaging adolescents and their families in home, school, and community contexts. The authors explore the multigenerational patterns that shape the lives of poor and ethnic minority adolescents and present innovative strategies for intervening beyond the walls of the agency or clinic. The book shows how to implement both home-based family therapy and school-based achievement mentoring to provide a comprehensive web of support.
