personal stabilization of participants through support from practitioners

Prävention

Rather they identified and framed their experiences based around individual practitioners within the organisation, and discussed strong and lasting attachments to these individuals, highlighting the idea that relationships remain central to service provision (Ritchie and Ord 2017). These relationships acted as the hub of the wheel that meant young people felt they could talk about a wide range of issues from drugs, sex, mental health issues, problems at home to ambitions, aspirations and dreams. For example, as Katy highlighted: “I went through a really rough patch, I wanted to drop out of school, I was really down… I came to these guys, they gave me advice, they helped me help myself, they were brilliant.” These relationships became part of the ongoing support networks for the participants beyond the lifetime of the project they were involved in. Though all of the youth participants were identified as ‘vulnerable’ by the VSO at point of engagement, once engaged many of the participants reached and maintained stable periods of their lives.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Qualitative Interviewbefragungen (persönlich)
Interviews were semi-structured, each following a similar line of questioning whilst allowing for individual perspectives and events to be discussed (Mason 1996, Kvale 2007). Each interview lasted approximately one hour, was recorded, transcribed and analysed in order to explore the content of the interview (Oliver, Serovich, and Mason 2005). [...] Sampling of the interviewees was purposive - members of staff from the VSO acted as gatekeepers and contacted a range of former youth participants who had been involved in one of these youth participation focused projects and sought consent for their contact details and names to be passed over to the researchers. [...] Pseudonyms have been used where participants have been quoted, as outlined at the end of this section.
