Counseling Youth: Systemic Issues and Interventions highlights the
nature of counseling youth and implementing interventions from a
systemic perspective. This systemic perspective focuses on the
multitude of issues and systems that impact youth and mental
health, such as academic progress and achievement; emotional and
behavioral problems; and overall behaviors that impact physical and
emotional well-being. As these aforementioned issues are addressed,
highlighted are the roles of various systems, including schools,
mental health facilities, medical facilities, juvenile justice
systems, and refugee services, as well as services geared to
special populations, such as LGBT+ youth and undocumented immigrant
minors. Included in this text is a brief overview of
child-adolescent development that then focuses on issues, policies,
and services for counseling youth in schools, communities, and
clinical settings. Central to this book are the issues that
families, schools, and communities are having difficulty
addressing, such as trauma, abuse, suicide, teen pregnancy, and
antisocial behavior, and the key to addressing these issues by
utilizing a variety of resources within the system and advocating
for systemic change. Utilized is a multidimensional focus on
development, issues, and strategies, providing an integrative
approach so that clinicians (present and future) have an
understanding of the theory, concerns, policies, and approaches for
working youth. This book also utilizes a transtheoretical approach
and attempts to provide an overview of approaches and interventions
regardless of theoretical approach. Unlike books that focus on a
singular model, this approach is to speak to a variety of
individuals training to be clinicians from a variety of backgrounds
(e.g., social work, marriage and family therapy, counseling,
psychology).
