  Rooted in humorous stories distilled with bits of sagely honest advice, The Journey goes beyond the well-chronicled college admissions madness and cuts to the core of parental angst with concrete suggestions for preparing children for a competitive and rapidly changing world. 
   
  Young people face an increasing medley of challenges as they pursue higher education—rising tuition costs, daunting prospective student debt, and a talented and competitive applicant pool. After a decade of preparing students for the ever more difficult admissions process, college counselor Greg Kaplan wishes parents would stop thinking, “What should I do to get my kid into a good college?” and instead ask: “How can I best prepare my child for what comes next?” Having practiced law and worked in investment banking early in his career before pivoting to working with students, parents, and educators, Kaplan knows what the world—and its population of college admissions officers—is looking for in today’s youth and tomorrow's leaders: Grit. Leadership. Passion. 
   
  Emphasizing these fundamental tenets of successful adulthood, The Journey paints a realistic picture of the lack of preparedness among today's youth.  
   
  Using stories of parents and students who have struggled and succeeded, Kaplan pushes students to consider: What do you want to get out of your college and work career? How can you jumpstart your journey into the real world? He asks parents: Are you preparing your children to attain a life of health, happiness, and financial independence?

  Community development lies at the heart of creating sustainable, thriving, and inclusive urban neighborhoods. It is a process that empowers residents, organizations, and stakeholders to work together toward shared goals, addressing pressing issues while building resilience and fostering a sense of belonging. This approach is not merely about improving infrastructure or economic growth; it is about nurturing the human connections that sustain communities and drive positive change. 
  At its core, community development is rooted in the idea that the people who live in a community are its greatest resource. Empowering individuals to take ownership of their neighborhoods fosters a sense of pride, responsibility, and collective action. By identifying and addressing local challenges—such as affordable housing, access to education, and environmental sustainability—residents can transform their shared spaces into vibrant, dynamic environments where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. 
  The importance of community development is particularly evident in urban areas, where challenges like overcrowding, economic disparity, and social fragmentation often intersect. These densely populated neighborhoods are microcosms of society, representing both its struggles and its potential for innovation and progress. Community development efforts help bridge divides by fostering dialogue, collaboration, and mutual understanding among diverse groups. Through initiatives such as leadership training, mentorship programs, and local events, urban residents can strengthen their networks and create a culture of support and inclusivity.

  If you treat children struggling with mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, you know that approaches designed for adults do not work with younger clients. ACT for Treating Children presents skills grounded in evidence-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help children regulate emotions and cope with the inevitable ups and downs of life, and is suitable for clinicians with no prior knowledge of or training in ACT, as well as seasoned ACT clinicians. 
   
   
   
  Written by an experienced educational and developmental psychologist, this practical clinician's guide outlines a simplified version of the ACT Hexaflex—a key component of this treatment model—called the Kidflex, to help young clients build resilience and psychological flexibility.  You'll find strategies for involving parents in treatment when appropriate, and enlisting them as 'ACT coaches' in the child’s therapy. 
   
   
   
  It can be difficult to know where to start when using ACT for individual therapy with children. That's why the skills in this go-to guide are practical and easy-to-implement, can be done with children in both face-to-face therapy and online sessions, and are simple enough for children to put into practice in any setting—whether it's at home, in school, or out in the world.
