    New Collection of Resources to Help Professionals Working With Adolescents Provide Support for Youth and Families

    PRWeb – Wed, Jan 18, 2012

    Teens can experience a number of hurdles on their way to adulthood: forming a healthy sexual identity, coping with family problems, using and abusing drugs, and responsible social media use to name just a few. Professionals working with youth need to know positive ways to support young people (and their families) as they transition into adulthood. The Prevention Researcher, the quarterly journal focused on successful adolescent development, offers a new collection of 15 printed issues, a CD of digital issues including four accompanying podcasts plus a video DVD – all focused on relevant topics facing youth and families today.
