Teenagers Encounter Bullying and Violence? (Wdidw Series)

Each book in this series is designed as a quick reference manual. When real life comes knocking at your door (death, divorce, a student questioning their sexuality, etc...) where can you turn. Most youth workers haven't experience and aren't trained in how to handle these situations...it's considered "on the job training." We're making the learning curve a little faster and providing biblically based information and responses for youth workers to follow. How can you mobilize resources? What is an appropriate response? When should you refer to a professional?
