<p>Schools care deeply about their students.</p><p>Yet many systems designed to support them activate only after a problem becomes visible-through discipline, academic decline, or crisis.</p><p>What if the earliest signs of struggle are already being seen... just not by adults?</p><p>In <i>Where Students Turn First</i>, Robert Faghan draws on decades of clinical experience, personal recovery, and his work inside schools to explore a reality educators often sense but rarely structure around: </p><p>Students almost always notice when something is wrong with their peers before adults do.</p><p>Blending narrative, student perspective, and leadership insight, this book examines: </p><p>- Why early intervention often arrives too late<br>- How peer influence shapes student behavior and help-seeking<br>- The gap between student awareness and adult systems<br>- What schools can do to recognize and responsibly align with that reality</p><p>This is not a program manual.</p><p>It is a reframing.</p><p>For educators, counselors, and school leaders, <i>Where Students Turn First</i> offers a clear and compelling perspective on how schools might better understand where awareness begins-and how to respond before struggles become crises.</p>
