Scholars and policymakers increasingly call for evidence-based, prevention-oriented, and community-driven approaches to improve public health and reduce youth crime, substance use, and related problems. However, few functional models exist. In Communities that Care, four leading experts on prevention describe one such system to illustrate how communities effectively engage in prevention activities. Communities That Care (CTC) is a coalition-based prevention system implemented successfully in dozens of communities across the world that promotes healthy development and reduces crime rates for youth. Drawing on literature from criminology, community psychology, and prevention science this book describes the conditions and actions necessary for effective community-based prevention. The authors illustrate how effective community-based prevention can be undertaken by describing how the CTC prevention system has been developed, implemented, evaluated, and disseminated across the U.S. and internationally. Communities that Care shares invaluable lessons about the implementation and evaluation of community-level interventions and establishes a set of best practices for anyone seeking to engage in and/or evaluate effective prevention efforts.

Written in an accessible style for all those who work with young children or will, the author asks the reader to think of the child in the context of the family and community.  Reorganized and updated, the book continues to examine developmental theory, but now with a greater emphasis on Bronfenbrenner's theory of ecological development, discussed in Chapter 1, and more on the importance of contexts of development woven throughout.    The book goes beyond encouraging mere parent involvement to how to develop a true collaboration and working relationship through good communication.  It also continues to have strong coverage of cultural diversity and present personal examples and vignettes.  The text explores many hot-button issues of the day such as supporting self-esteem, discipline, attachment, coping with separation, teen parents, child-abuse, children with ADHD, shy children, aggressive children, conflict resolution, problem solving, and gender issues.  Full of real life examples and personal insights, the book is designed and written for not just teachers, but caregivers, child-care workers, and parents.  All readers are expected to reach into their own experience, knowledge, ideas and insights to make sense of the new information in the text in the context of their own lives.

In Child Care Providers, beginning readers will learn how different types of child care providers help children play, learn, and stay safe.

Commissioned by the Blanton-Peale Institute, Cultivating Wholeness is a practical, comprehensive, and contemporary guide to community care and counseling. Its aim is to prepare those who would help all who suffer emotionally. Its emphases on the dynamics of change, on wholeness, and on community as not only the context for healing but the means by which healing happens, on an inclusive understanding of spirituality, and on the caregiver/counselor who these days is as likely to be a lay person as a member of the clergy -- all place the book on the leading edge of its field.

Community Health Workers in Action proposes support and expansion of the role of community health workers in meeting the health needs of marginalized groups in United States cities (although their potential reach is not limited to any one group or geographical section). Given the health inequities that continue to touch the lives of millions of people of color across the country, these professionals' efforts--which translate to innovative, community-centered responses designed to reach particularly vulnerable populations--are quite timely. In order to truly understand the topic of health care, one must first explore its historical contexts, socio-cultural factors, and the ways in which values play a critical role in shaping a worldview of the right to quality care. This book offers readers a window into the dynamic field that continues to expand in highly creative and cost-effective ways, which ultimately shape one major piece of the complicated puzzle that is health care in America.
