Child-Focused Prevention Corner – Timothy Cavell

Timothy A. Cavell, PhD, professor and director of clinical training, Department of Psychological Science, University of Arkansas. His work focuses on mentor-based interventions for children who are highly aggressive or chronically bullied. Recent work has focused on the integration of youth mentoring and prevention science and, more specifically, on lunchtime school-based mentoring as intervention for chronically bullied children. Cavell will be The Chronicle’s child-focused prevention editor and will write and oversee the new “Child-Focused Prevention Corner”, which will cover issues involving youth mentoring as prevention strategy for elementary school-age children.
