problems, and when they do, they typically consult family doctors or teachers who rarely have specialized training in parent consultation skills.10 Most of the family - based programmes targeting adolescents are only available to selective subpopulations of adolescents (those who have identified risk factors) and / or indicated subgroups of youth (those who already possess negative symptoms or detectable
problems).
