Preventing Bullying and School Violence is a practical handbook for designing and sustaining effective interventions to address problem behaviours in schools. According to this groundbreaking book, the mental health professional can play a crucial role in preventing school violence by taking the lead in forging collaborative connections between the school and the community to build a healthy academic environment. The hands-on guidance offered in this volume will be eminently useful to clinicians, school counsellors, and administrators, as well as other mental health professionals, including social workers and psychologists. Although its coverage of risk analysis and threat assessment is comprehensive, the book also focuses on prevention and offers techniques for promoting wellness in the school and the larger community. An abundance of clinical examples illustrate the challenges faced by the mental health professional in this role and provide many practical strategies for working within the often-complex bureaucracies involved with school violence and bullying issues. The authors of Preventing Bullying and School Violence see bullying as a process, not a problem confined to one individual, and their focus on the home school community connection offers a strong framework for mental health professionals to work as agents of effective change in schools and communities.

Paperback. Etat : New. Results from numerous surveys indicate that many students do not feel safe in school. This condition exacts an academic as well as a psychological toll because, as the authors remind us, children must feel safe in order to learn. The authors of Preventing Bullying and School Violence contend that inadequate attention has been given to the role of mental health professionals in preventing bullying and school violence. They propose a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, one that draws upon the skills of the educational, health care, and mental health communities in identifying risk, choosing appropriate interventions, and implementing targeted wellness programs. The authors see bullying as a process, not a problem originating with a single troubled person. Accordingly, they believe that bullying behaviors can be effectively addressed only by targeting the broader social context - the coercive power and group dynamics that breed and maintain bullying and violent behavior in the school setting. The book is designed to help clinicians, school counselors, and administrators create a safe climate for their students and to respond thoughtfully, but swiftly, when threats arise. The authors offer many practical guidelines for achieving these goals, addressing ; The critical importance of establishing a strong connection between the family, the school, and the community in creating a healthy academic environment; Strategies for working effectively with the complex social bureaucracies that often characterize the entities (such as school boards and governmental agencies) that intervene in cases involving violent children, with an emphasis on developing skills in managing both small and large groups; Ways to define and recognize at-risk children who require special attention as a result of having mental illness and/or learning disability; Innovative community interventions, such as therapeutic mentoring and home-based therapy, in addition to information on local, state, and federal programs designed to support antiviolence programs in the schools; Techniques for promoting wellness among the student population - not just physical wellness, but also the positive attitudes and coping skills that are the hallmarks of mental health. Preventing Bullying and School Violence aims to empower mental health professionals to work confidently and effectively in educational settings to reduce the distress, enhance the psychological well-being, and secure the safety of all schoolchildren.
