It includes unique, informative chapters for parents on the impact of social media and artiﬁcial intelligence, featuring case studies and ""keys for engaging youth"" that provide techniques or interventions that could be used when working with youth.

Reviews for Youth at Risk: Insights and Approaches for Professional Helpers, Teachers, and Parents

Praise for Previous Editions: ""The new edition of this well-respected book presents a powerful collection of chapters that address the significant challenges and possibilities of youth-focused prevention and intervention services. In addition to tackling the most pressing and timely topics of youth care-so-cial media influences, sexual orientation, bullying, and substance misuse, to name just a few-the chapters are written and organized in user-friendly ways that will help mental health professionals, teachers, and parents immediately apply the book's content to their work with youth at the individual, family, school, or community levels."" John J. Murphy, PhD, University of Central Arkansas ""This revised edition provides up-to-date and relevant information about the multitude of factors that put youth at risk. The case studies and practical guidelines for prevention and intervention make this book a must-have for practitioners seeking to increase their knowledge and skills to work more effectively with this vulnerable population."" Ann Vernon, PhD, Professor Emerita, University of Northern Iowa
