Reimagining Intervention in Young Lives: Work, Social Assistance, and Marginalization

Karen R Foster

4.9/5 (15086 ratings)

Description:Poverty and unemployment are on the rise among Canadian youth. Clearly something needs to change, but current social-assistance models are based on problematic assumptions about the lives and possible trajectories of risky young people. "Reimagining Intervention in Young Lives" explores the difficulties many marginalized young people encounter with the support system available to them, as well as the social forces that push them to the margins in the first place. Drawn from interviews with forty-five patrons of a youth drop-in centre, this important work resituates the nexus of the problem from the identification of individual risk factors to the recognition of the contradictions and barriers contained in the very social-aid structures that are meant to bring their target populations back in to the fold of normal society. Intervention is indeed necessary, but more to challenge the prevailing structures that incorrectly presume how youth themselves interpret risk, poverty, and, most important of all, their own potential.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
