Reviews/Comments

Editorial Reviews:

Youth Today, March/April 1993
Breakthrough Strategies to Teach and Counsel Youth is geared toward mental health workers, foster parents and case managers. Each book offers step-by-step lesson plans and handouts. In particular, "A Child's Guide to Surviving in a Troubled Family" gives some good tips on approaching difficult topics...

The Portland Oregonian Newspaper, March 14, 1992
Youth Change publishes educational materials designed to teach disruptive students the social skills necessary for good classroom performance...Dreams of abandoning school in favor of life in a rock n' roll band may be met with cartoons depicting the headline of a make-believe rock magazine: "Wealthy Rock Star Broke." "I can't even balance my checkbook," admits the fictional down-and-out star. A student who questions the value of school may be given a quiz on coping with an adult's typical day...School districts in Oregon like the approach well enough to invite Wells to conduct teacher training sessions.
