SARNIA, Ontario, June 22, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- When it comes to child and youth care, getting to the heart of any issue quickly is the key to solving the problem. With the release of a practical and informative workbook, titled Who Am I?, author Carolynn McCully shares with readers a series of tips and strategies that will teach child and youth workers (CYW) how to achieve that.
Who Am I? produces opportunities for parent involvement by increasing parent child communications, and gives a focal point to the diversity in relationships in a child's life experience. It also provides a structured strategy that helps in the rapport-building phase of the intervention, and the focus worksheets were developed to illicit information, encouraging an exploration from the client/student's perspective of the presenting problem areas or issues. Based on a two-interview concept used in the beginning stage of intervention with children and youth, this volume is designed to getting to the heart of problems -- via the quickest, most efficient way possible!
"You can focus this workbook on every client by using worksheets specific to his or her needs and goals. This will enable our clients to make positive changes. I would highly recommend Carolynn's workbook to any CYW or anyone in the field. She is very specific with what you can achieve from using her book with your clients/students and I have already begun using the book in my placement," CYW Student Tracy Gillespie said describing the book.

About the Author
Carolynn McCully CYW, CYC (cert), as a mother of three and a grandmother of four, she decided to join the ranks of "mature students" attending Sarnia Lambton College, as a student in the three year Child and Youth Worker Program, graduating 1997. Her first job after graduation provided an opportunity to initiate a "pilot project" implementing the skills of a Child and Youth Worker in the school system. It was during this initial involvement in the school system where she quickly recognized a shortage in creative materials that would fill a need to get to the heart of student's social and emotional issues quickly. Her solution to the problem was to create a relationship building tool that worked well and quickly, hence, her first book, Who Am I: "Getting to the heart of the matter...from the Child's Perspective."
