Description

Working with High-Risk Youth: A Relationship-Based Practice Framework by Peter Smyth provides a comprehensive approach to supporting vulnerable young people. This fully revised and expanded second edition focuses on high-risk youth who face significant challenges, including neglect and abuse, mental health issues, and difficulties in forming attachments. The book introduces the Get Connected practice framework and philosophy, which has been successfully used in Canada and New Zealand. It offers strategies for engaging with disconnected, challenging, and troubled youth, and provides an understanding of attachment, trauma, and brain development. This guide is essential reading for professionals working with high-risk youth, including agency service providers, community outreach workers, and youth workers. By adopting a relationship-based practice approach, practitioners can better support these young people and help them overcome their struggles. With its new material on attachment, trauma, and brain development, this book provides valuable insights and practical strategies for making a positive difference in the lives of high-risk youth.
