From the Author
"This guide was created from my 12+ years as a juvenile probation officer. I've worked directly with youth adjudicated for serious sex offenses, armed robberies, aggravated assaults, and family violence. I've seen what works. If these strategies succeeded with kids facing the most serious charges, they will give you the clarity and confidence you need in your living room."
— Ron, Founder of YouthPivot
