School-Based Prevention Programs for Children and Adolescents by Joseph A. Durlak Pdf

Fueled by demands for reform of social and educational programs and pressured for solutions to increasing social problems among youths, social policy experts have turned to the promising effectiveness of school-based prevention programs. School-Based Prevention Programs for Children and Adolescents reviews and evaluates the design and impact of such programs, pointing out in particular those exemplary prevention efforts that have worked and thus advance knowledge in the prevention field. In addition to tracing the development of basic theories and practice, the author discusses the factors that assist or hinder program implementation and offers specific examples to illustrate how effective programs can be modified to work. He also focuses on understanding the school as an integral social and organizational structure and its special role in prevention programs. This volume covers a broad range of prevention programs - including prevention of behavioral, social, and academic problems as well as education in substance abuse and health - and looks to model school-based prevention programs as a step toward future prevention efforts.

School-based Prevention for Children at Risk by Emory L. Cowen Pdf

The Primary Mental Health Project (PMHP) is an innovative, school-based program aimed at preventing school adjustment problems in young children. School-Based Prevention for Children at Risk traces the evolution of PMHP over its 40-year history and explains, in concrete, user-friendly language, how to establish, maintain, and evaluate such a program. The book consists of two parts. The first traces PMHP's development and explains the current operation of the program. The second describes a range of dissemination activities and four newer primary prevention programs designed to promote wellness before signs of maladjustment appear. These four programs focus on social problem solving, helping children deal with the negative effects of divorce, cooperative peer learning, and enhancement of resilience. A final chapter considers PMHP's accomplishments to date and what they suggest for future school mental health programming. This book appeals to a broad audience of psychologists, educators, and school mental health professionals and administrators.
