Author talk- Derek V Schuster "Youth in Jeopardy" (AT East Hampton HS)

In this complex world of today, with so many "at risk" tweens and teens grappling with issues, problems and crises, can a fresh perspective on their trials and tribulations help to turn them around?

about the author:

"The focus of Derek Schuster’s professional life has been on the prevention of family-related social problems. That is to say, he has shown consistent interest in addressing a social problem before it reaches an acute stage.

In the year 2000, Derek started a Violence Prevention Program for the highly regarded organization SCAN-New York. Many of the at-risk teenage clients have been arrested. The program has been consistently able to reduce re-arrests by over 70%. And throughout its 20-plus years in existence, Derek has maintained a personal caseload of six to ten youngsters. This means that his experiences in Violence Prevention are first-hand.

As the father of six children ranging in age from 17 to adulthood and as a former teacher Derek’s life experience has prepared him in multiple ways to be the author of “Youth in Jeopardy.” He has not only preached about parenting techniques, but has used them on the home front and in school settings."
