"This guide is driven by the need not to add to the library of information on violent extremism but to underscore a message often missed: to reach young people effectively, we must respect their ability to grasp the reality of injustice, intolerance, and inequity [...] we found that three key messag

es emerged from our analysis of all Youth Contributor submissions. For each key message, we have identified a corresponding framework to guide policy support to empower stakeholders.
1. Peace, empathy, and compassion cannot be taught. These are skills that are only fully realized through experiential learning and lived experience.
Policy Action: Provide opportunities for exchange and interaction and create conducive environments in which young people can develop and practice these skills.
2. Start now. Stakeholders can take immediate and important actions, even small actions, to support a culture that prevents violent extremism. No one needs to wait for permission or a comprehensive set of instructions.
Policy Action: Provide resources such as technical support, financing, guidance, and networks to empower actors.
3. This is a long, slow process. Preventing violent extremism requires the development of a resilient culture. It is the work of expanding opportunity. All stakeholders can play critical roles in making this culture a reality." (Preface, page 10-11)

lth Services Authority (CalMHSA), we found many resources that discussed general approaches to evaluating mental health programs and policies but few that discussed how to tailor an evaluation approach to mental health PEI activities in particular. PEI activities may require different evaluation strategies than treatment interventions do. First, the activities being administered are different in that they are not clinical interventions. Indeed, PEI activities are highly diverse and provided in many different types of nonclinical settings. Thus, the process outcomes that are used as indicators of successful implementation tend to look different for PEI interventions." (Introduction)

as. Pero una cosa es ganar unas elecciones y otra cosa muy diferente es gobernar. Por eso, Carlos Andrés Pérez dedica la segunda parte de su libro a la manera como ejercer el poder de una forma responsable, o sea, cómo cambiar de la comunicación de campaña a la comunicación de gobierno. Tanto el candidato como el gobernante deben ser contundentes, generar credibilidad y confianza. En esta séptima edición Carlos Andrés Pérez nos sorprende con una nueva faceta de la comunicación política para llegar mejor al público, el Storytelling. Un nuevo nombre para un concepto muy antiguo, que se remonta a tiempos bíblicos, y consiste en contar historias y experiencias personales, en vez de abrumar a la gente con tantas cifras y teorías abstractas."
