Abstract

The intention of the set of information briefs contained in this section of the Handbook is to provide brief concise reviews of strategies and programs that are associated with fostering healthy personal-social development of children and youth and, in turn, with making schools safe. The information briefs, which are reproducible, draw upon the most current thinking of researchers and professionals on the various topics that they address. The section begins with a set of briefs that provide a conceptual overview of the approach taken in this guide. The subsequent briefs then present a picture of the kinds of programs and services that school districts and communities can put in place to prevent violence and other types of student problem behaviors and to build the assets necessary for the healthy development of our young people.
