Nelson & Prilleltensky (2010) provide a template for devising “value-based interventions in multiple settings - schools, workplaces, hospitals, communities - and with a variety of foci - health promotion, drug-abuse prevention, teenage pregnancy, formal and informal support, minority rights, and child abuse”.

My school work consumed so much of my time that I didn’t realize how disconnected from my family, friends, and community I really was.
