Fights at school, sexual abuse, eating disorders, school crises… The list goes on and on. Hardly a day passes without a local crisis taking place that involves your junior high or high school kids. The Volunteer's Guide to Helping Teenagers in Crisis is a four-session, video-based study that equips volunteer youth workers to deal with kids in crisis in a way that helps the individual as well as their family. This study covers the whole crisis continuum, culminating in a basic training of crisis prevention, recognizing when kids are in crisis, and responding to their needs.
