Great Concept, BUT tell me more
The concept that teens have exchanged "Rites of Passage" for "Safe Passage" is on the money in so many ways. I would have liked the book to explore that concept more. As a teen worker the programs highlighted had a rather "institutional" feel to them. I think there are many more creative and innovative ways to approach serving teens...

This review is from: Safe Passage: Making It Through Adolescence in a Risky Society (Hardcover)
In this comprehensive text, Ms. Dryfoos defines, describes, and details what a "safe passage" means for at-risk children. I found this book inspirational because the reader is given real examples of communities and schools that successfully created safe environments for adolescents. The reader learns that a child needs this healthy environment at the beginning of life until he or she grows into a successful young adult. As I continued reading, I found the information a bit overwhelming. There are so many programs for youth that work and don't work and resources to support the communities that support the youth. Where does one begin to make a difference in the life of a trouble teen? The author explains that providing safe-havens for at-risk youth takes individuals, families, schools, and communities. It is a process that not only takes time and patience, but financial support to thrive. Read this book and find out how you can make a difference!

As a teen worker the programs highlighted had a rather "institutional" feel to them. I think there are many more creative and innovative ways to approach serving teens. Maybe the next installment should interview the newer (younger) breed of teen worker.
