Zusammenfassung:In Fulfilling the Promise of Children's Services, David Blumenkrantz shares the expertise he has gained helping communities across the county to implement his successful primary prevention strategy, the Rite of Passage Experience. Drawing on nearly twenty years of experience in human services, the author reveals why youth service groups have largely been unable to meet their objectives - and he examines what these groups must do to implement and sustain effective prevention efforts. Offering numerous examples drawn from actual practice, Blumenkrantz reveals the essential factors in a comprehensive primary prevention strategy - for example, fostering collaboration between school, community, and families; having a committed core group responsible for implementation; and obtaining the financial commitment of schools and the community. Stressing the need for communities to develop long-term prevention strategies, he examines how quick-fix programs - such as the "just say no" campaign - do little to alleviate problems and can actually hinder proven prevention efforts.
