Today's world creates challenges that are overwhelming for so many kids and their families. Living without the necessary supports and sometimes the basics forces kids to go out and seek what they believe they need to survive. Many have become throwaway s and move to the streets and the underbelly of our society. As a society, we often assume that they have behavior disorders or have escaped their homes and just for a thrill. Yet for many of these kids, it is a choice between surviving or being abused, neglected, or killed at the hands of a supposedly trusted adult. This book is a real portrait of their struggles, their challenges, and their victories. Children in Crisis is a resource to build awareness, understanding, and solutions for educators, parents, and anyone working with children and adolescents.

This is a must-read for teachers, teacher candidates, counselors, and parents. It's wonderful to see a book addressing the needs of children in such an empowering way. Dr. LeBrun not only assists any reader to understand the psychopathology in children and the problems they encounter, but how we can look for visible signs and deal with them most effectively. His research provides practical insights that will make a difference to the lives of children everywhere. An excellent and easy read for all!

This book is a must-read for any person, educator, parent, social services worker, and anyone who works with children in crisis. Dr. Lebrun captures the portraits of children and what has placed them in crisis. Not only does he identify the characteristics, but he provides strategies to improve the lives of these children and youth. His thoughtful perspective, coupled with his unique approaches made me want to continue to read. I know each reader will be moved to action to address these 21st century problems and issues.
