The manual "Mastering Challenges: Therapeutic Interventions in the Classroom", gives step by step directions of implementing counseling services to students while they are in their classroom. The manual contains exercises which stimulates problem solving, self analysis, coping skills, stress and anger management, the exercises are thought provoking, realistic and sounds enough like their own experiences that they enthusiastically engage in the counseling activity with their peers. Therapist of all disciplines can utilize this manual. In my schools, located in the inner city of Chicago, the school counselors, teachers, social workers have used this manual to assist their students problem solve issues as it emerges. Although, the manual is written by a school social worker and is addressed to this discipline it is user friendly to all the helping profession. Children school aged and older have benefited from this material.
