What is Group-Centered Prevention Programs for At-Risk Students about?

School psychologists, counselors, and educators in the K-12 setting face the daunting responsibility of finding balance between mandated testing, students’ mental-health concerns, and additional academic help for at-risk students. One solution to this dilemma is to implement a school-based mental health approach that combines learning and counseling needs into a single program. Several types of successful programs are available, though week-long intensive programs have recently increased in popularity. __Group-Centered Prevention Programs for At-Risk Students__ focuses on the development of such a week-long prevention program, and provides professionals with step-by-step directions to create their own program. It also focuses on the use of group-centered interventions as an opportunity to prevent at-risk behaviors as a means of correcting or changing dysfunctional behavior. This highly readable volume addresses such challenging issues as: * Using self-reflection to teach writing skills. * Increasing interpersonal interaction while honing etiquette. * Enhancing group acceptance and reading comprehension. * Rebuilding self-efficacy by increasing word recognition and decoding skills.
