Reviews

this well presented book is a recommended purchase, as all the hard work in planning and preparation has been done for you. -- PSW (Professional Social Work) In summary this book offers a repertoire of ideas for facilitators of group work with young people aiming to promote leadership... I certainly am inspired by the strong beliefs of the authors and would recommend that this book is considered by any facilitator of group work with young people as a guide to running a group. -- Social Work: Reflections and Research This manual shares the ground-breaking work of Leap Confronting Conflict for working with young people in conflict or crisis situations. It contains practical activities that can be used in a range of situations, or brought together to form a programme of intervention. I would recommend our students read this manual; it will benefit them both in their studies and in their direct placements with young people. -- Alan Smith, Principal Lecturer in Youth and Community Work, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
