Youth Comprehensive Risk Assessment: A Clinically Tested Approach for Helping Professionals presents a complete youth risk assessment and treatment program based on Dr. Ken Coll's 20 plus years of research on assessing and treating at-risk youth. In this book, helping professionals will find not only a wide range of succinct and easy-to-use assessments, but also proven helpful, highly specific approaches and treatment strategies. Case studies and intervention techniques show professionals—from therapists and social workers to teachers and nurses—how they can help struggling youth find motivation to work on their concerns. This book also offers professionals a menu of assessment surveys and action strategies so that they can develop a plan that best fits the needs of particular youth and their families.

Reviews for Youth Comprehensive Risk Assessment: A Clinically Tested Approach for Helping Professionals

I began this book thinking its only audience was mental health professionals, but I quickly realized it has another important audience-teachers of adolescents. Dr. Coll includes detailed cases of struggling adolescents and how the cases were comprehensively addressed using his proven effective assessment and intervention system. All adults, including teachers, were integral in the youths' difficult journeys. Dr. Coll provides an invaluable template for success. One that needs to be deeply internalized by all those involved with struggling youth. -Roger A. Stewart, PhD, Boise State University
