Reimagining Intervention in Young Lives: Work, Social Assistance, and Marginalization - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Poverty and unemployment are on the rise among Canadian youth. Reimagining Intervention in Young Lives looks at the issue from the perspective of those most affected, revealing the difficulties young people encounter with the "support system." In-depth interviews with forty-five young people in Ottawa reveal that solutions do exist, predicated on recognition that the problem lies not with incorrigible youth, but with a social-aid structure that imposes barriers to success. Intervention is necessary, argue the authors, but not so much in the lives of young people as in the faulty structures that incorrectly presume how they interpret risk, poverty, and their own potential.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Poverty and unemployment are on the rise among Canadian youth.Clearly something needs to change, but current social-assistance modelsare based on problematic assumptions about the lives and possibletrajectories of "risky" young people. Reimagining Intervention in Young Lives explores thedifficulties many marginalized young people encounter with the"support system" available to them, as well as the socialforces that push them to the margins in the first place. Drawn frominterviews with forty-five patrons of a youth drop-in centre, thisimportant work resituates the nexus of the problem from theidentification of individual "risk factors" to therecognition of the contradictions and barriers contained in the verysocial-aid structures that are meant to bring their target populationsback in to the fold of "normal" society. Intervention is indeed necessary, but more to challenge theprevailing structures that incorrectly presume how youth themselvesinterpret risk, poverty, and, most important of all, their ownpotential. Documents the experience of poverty, unemployment, homelessness, and intervention, and their effects on young people's lives and social networks.
