At Risk:
Bringing Hope to Hurting Teenagers
By Dr. Scott Larson
God cares about at-risk youth...
and here's how you can effectively care for them, too.
Practical suggestions. Honest answers. Tools to help you evaluate your existing programs. And real-life insights about what it costs to include kids others have left behind.
If you believe the Gospel is for everyone,
this book is for you.
According to the Children’s Defense Fund, every day in America six children and youth commit suicide, 13 children and youth are victims of homicide, and 316 children are arrested for violent crimes. If you’re working with youth these days, you’re encountering more and more at-risk and high-risk teenagers,
whether you are a pastor, youth worker, teacher, counselor or someone else working with teenagers.
”At Risk: Bringing Hope to Hurting Teenagers”
is filled with real-life stories, practical suggestions, honest answers, and tools to help you evaluate your existing programs. Addresses such tough questions as:
- What is the best role to play in
a troubled youth’s life?
- How do they tend to view life,
God, and anyone who tries to reach them?
- How can at-risk youth be reached
more effectively?
- What is it about at-risk kids
that make them so different from other teens?
- What motivates them?
The author, Dr. Scott Larson and his
wife, Hanne, founded and direct Straight Ahead
Ministries, a national organization that reaches out to
juvenile offenders. Straight Ahead Ministries operates
programs in more than 100 juvenile detention centers in
ten states, as well as after-care homes for youth
released from juvenile jails.
