A heartfelt thank you to administrators, teachers, trainers and participants who provided direction for the new edition.  We listened carefully to feedback and retooled Response to feature case studies that integrate compounding risk factors and culturally relevant information. Comments and feedback helped us take a good product and develop a great one.
