Biography
Kenneth M. Coll, PhD, is a professor in counseling at the University of Nevada, Reno. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (clinical), Master Addictions Counselor, and has been awarded Researcher of the Year at two different universities. He also has recently served on the Governor’s Behavioral Health Transformation Task Force.
“I began this book thinking its only audience was mental health professionals, but I quickly realized it has another important audience—teachers of adolescents. Dr. Coll includes detailed cases of struggling adolescents and how the cases were comprehensively addressed using his proven effective assessment and intervention system. All adults, including teachers, were integral in the youths’ difficult journeys. Dr. Coll provides an invaluable template for success. One that needs to be deeply internalized by all those involved with struggling youth.”—Roger A. Stewart, PhD, Boise State University
