“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. Educators working with any youth and families could greatly benefit in reevaluating their approach and interactions with troubled youth. 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”
