question 54

Essay

Prilleltensky (2005) shows that it is helpful to plot the timing of an MHP / prevention program (i.e., universal prevention vs. indicated prevention / early intervention for problems that have already started) against the ecological level of implementation (i.e., micro vs. macro levels), creating four quadrants. Describe these quadrants and identify examples of MHP interventions for each.
