Strengths-Based Prevention

An amazingly thorough and comprehensive book - Suzanne Phillips (PsychUp Live) ….as somebody that’s a nonacademic reading this book, what I enjoyed about it was that it was like a buffet of different approaches with commentary on, ‘This is where this might work or might not work. This is a plus to this’…from a standpoint of leadership development, as I read this, I saw many components of leadership development involved in what you had put together here. - Patrick Veroneau (Learning From Leaders podcast)
