Fostering positive relationships with youth is an underlying approach helpful in addressing basically all of the youth concerns we have written about in previous issues of The Prevention Researcher. In this Resource Issue we examine some of the different ways adults can work with youth to develop positive relationships. Some of these are more common and traditional while others are less common. Our goal is to get readers thinking about the many ways they can create positive relationships with youth, perhaps considering practices that they have not tried in the past.

We begin this issue with an article by Laura Mirsky examining the use of Restorative Practices, a proactive approach to whole-school climate change in K-12 education settings based on communication and responsibility.

Next, Shepherd Zeldin and colleagues explore the fundamental strategies that organizations can take to sustain quality youth-adult partnerships.

In our final article, Meera Rastogi interviews outpatient youth therapist Sheila Kapur about how to create positive relationships with youth who are culturally different than yourself.

Following these three articles are four excellent book reviews about creating positive relationships and understanding youth. These book reviews, written by members of our Editorial Board, critique books on increasing student voice at school, formal youth mentoring programs, understanding how peers influence youth, and how to nurture well-being among LGBT youth.
