Adolescent Mental Health : Prevention and Intervention
Adolescence is a period characterized by both increased susceptibility to risks and new-found strength to withstand them.Whilst most young people are well equipped to manage the changes associated with growing up, other maladjusted and marginalized adolescents already have, or are at risk of developing, mental health problems.Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and Intervention is a concise and accessible overview of our current knowledge on effective treatment and prevention programs for young people with mental health problems.Whilst addressing some of the most common mental health issues among young people, such as behavioral problems and drug-related difficulties, it also offers a fuller understanding of the evidence-based treatment and prevention programs that are built upon what we know about how these behavioral and emotional problems develop and are sustained.The volume illustrates contemporary and empirically supported interventions and prevention efforts through a series of case studies.It has been fully updated in line with the latest NICE and DSM-V guidelines, and now includes an added chapter on implementation, and what factors facilitate implementation processes of intervention efforts. Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and Intervention will be essential reading for students and practitioners in the fields of child welfare and mental health services, and any professional working with adolescents at risk of developing mental health problems.

Is prevention really prevention?
Prevention can be effective in reducing the risk of certain outcomes, but it is not always foolproof. While prevention measures can significantly lower the likelihood of a negative event occurring, they cannot guarantee that it will never happen. Therefore, it is important to continue to be vigilant and proactive in maintaining prevention efforts, as well as being prepared to respond if prevention measures fail. Overall, prevention is an important tool in managing risk, but it is not a guarantee of complete protection.

Abolitionist Agroecology, Food Sovereignty And Pandemic Prevention
COVID-19 has exposed the racialized nature of food systems, but also potentially grants opportunities to build anew.Maywa Montenegro explores a series of breakdowns, from fractured supply chains to uncontrolled infection among essential food workers to Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities scythed through by the virus along old grooves of race-class oppression.She traces the likely origins of COVID-19 to spillover sites forged by agroindustrial expansion into forested regions where pathogens spring free and infect humans.Industrial animal agriculture drives these ecological changes that incubate future outbreaks.Pandemics have their roots in the violent separation of communities from their territories, seeds, knowledge and wealth.Racism enables such theft as fundamental to capitalist expansion. To tackle pandemics and food injustices, Montenegro calls for an abolitionist agroecology.No anti-capitalist alternative can ignore the racism that is central to the transnational industrial food system.Scholars including Angela Davis, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Mariame Kaba have argued that although abolition is frequently seen as an oppositional strategy - to eradicate, for example, prisons and police - abolition is equally propositional.An abolitionist agroecology cracks open multiple possibilities that respond to the exigencies of a pandemic planet - there is no 'normal' to which we can safely return.

Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle : Psychological Interventions for the Prevention of Chronic Diseases and the Role of the Health Ecosystem
With a sustainable lifestyle change based on sufficient exercise and a balanced diet, many chronic diseases (obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome) can be alleviated, cured or their onset prevented.Those affected from chronic diseases find it difficult to change their lifestyle permanently. Intervention programs are often not geared towards sustainable behavioral change and take too little account of the individual's motivational factors.As a result, those affected revert to old patterns after a while.The applied research project "Sustainable Lifestyle Change", which is the subject of this book, deals with the question of how "sticking to" a healthy lifestyle can be supported from the perspective of motivational psychology and service orientation. This specialist book is aimed at people in the healthcare sector (health psychologists, doctors, nutritionists, etc.) as well as applied researchers and explains how affected people can be supportedin "sticking to" a healthy lifestyle.There are gaps in research and practice regarding this so-called maintenance phase of a healthy lifestyle, which this book closes: What measures successfully support those affected from chronic diseases in making sustainable lifestyle changes?What is the role of motivation and motivational orientation in maintaining a healthy lifestyle?What does the maintenance phase look like and what is the customer journey of those affected?What is the role of those affected and other stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem in long-term lifestyle change?The findings are synthesized in a toolbox with recommendations for practitioners.
