Vulnerable young people's meeting with welfare services

This project was created in the wake of the PhD project: Local drug prevention: From policy to practice. In cooperation with a masters student we have carried out additional focus group interviews with adolescents/teenagers in the youth support team about their experiences when encountering and dealing with welfare services.

The research project aims to give a valuable insight into how adolescents/teenagers experience the meeting and interplay between different welfare services, in order to highlight the importance of coordinating services for vulnerable youth. The project has a health promotion orientation and uses theories from Salutogense, Positive Youth Development and Empowerment.
