“I have observed students reacting very favorably to Street Therapy Interactive in the middle school setting. I would think that Street Therapy Interactive could be utilized in interacting with students from kindergarten through high school.

Co-constructing cooperation with troubled youth and their families would build a positive relationship from the first interaction, rather than the usual co-opting stature of “knowing all” as is so common in educators. Being able to relate on a more cognizant level versus “one- up” would truly benefit what educators really intend with their students.” “Easy to read, yet research driven, Success already established in working with youth Passion for STI demonstrated throughout book”

“Street Therapy Interactive” is used as a teacher/counselor’s guide in our Life Skills class. I have first-handedly seen Reeves deal calmly and effectively with the most troubled youth.

It reminds all to be patient and to think before acting. The book also is good at explaining how troubled youth see and understand their environment and how we as educators need to be able to see things also in troubled youth’s eyes. This understanding will go a long way in making connections with “Great ideas on connecting with kids, Easy to read and implement, Proven concepts that work”
