This book is an incredible resource for parents, mental health professionals and schools. Mr. Isham has condensed into one book, what took most of us many, many years to "figure out" on our own. I wish I had this book 20 years ago!

REVIEWS FOR "CHILD AND FAMILY ADVOCACY

"In a single book, Mr. Isham tackes the complex issues surrounding child and family advocacy. His work is a valuable resource for parents as they attempt to do what is best for their children. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the importance of family support through difficult times. Mr. Isham provides families with the necessary skills to learn and grow together in their relationships."

                                                    "STRENGHT OVER SILENCE: RAPE AWARENESS AND RECOVERY"

"This book is a treasure with a wealth of information for anyone associated with children and families in need. It clearly identifies resources. It provides systematic planning processes for parents and professional helpers. The process of accessing social services can be tedious. This book can be used as a manual to prepare professional and parental advocates. I will certainly adopt this book as a required textbook for our college Behavioral Health students."
