These issues are becoming more a part of the fabric of youth ministry with an ever-growing "at-risk" adolescent population. There are many books written on each of the following issues but they are designed to assist counselors and are fairly comprehensive. This series is designed to give specific critical information on the issue and to "coach" the worker through his/her role as a youth worker not a mental health professional. |
