Routledge has just published a book on child and adolescent wellbeing and violence prevention in schools edited by Phillip Slee, Grace Skrzypiec, and Carmel Cefai. The book offers a comprehensive guide for educators in understanding and promoting wellbeing and violence prevention initiatives in schools and communities, translating research and theory into practice with a strong evidence-based application. It is presented in five thematic sections, namely: culture and wellbeing; young females and wellbeing; bullying; cyberbullying and student violence; interventions to promote wellbeing; and interventions to promote violence prevention.

Written by experienced researchers and educators, each of the 21 chapters provides practical information and research on school, classroom or community applications, trends and issues in the field, and practical ideas for wellbeing and violence prevention measures. Issues of culture, gender and youth voice are specifically addressed.

Further information on the book may be found online.

Professor Carmel Cefai is Director of the Centre for Resilience and Socio-Emotional Health.
