Description

Familiarize yourself with successful prevention programs in mental health centers throughout the country. Prevention in Community Health Centers offers a very positive view of prevention efforts that have flourished in the past several years, despite the lack of federal support. Whether you are currently involved in an established prevention program or your agency is considering upgrading its prevention efforts, this practical volume will provide guidelines and incentives. Learn about the development and management of prevention services within applied settings--a social-problem solving program in a public school system, prevention services within a medical school-based community mental health center, a preventive intervention program for divorced and separated adults organized by a local mental health center and a chapter of Parents Without Partners, and a variety of self-help groups.
