increased feeling of security
psychosoziales Befinden
The concept of safety is complex and not solely expressed in physical terms. In reporting increased understanding and feelings of safety, the young people suggested their relationships with Riverside youth workers were supportive and they were reassured to know that workers were there for them. Two young people felt that the office location, situated in their local community, also helped them feel secure.
