Seasons Youth and Homelessness Resource Book for Workers and Agencies Print E-mail
ImageCentacare developed this Seasons resource book for community workers and their organisations to assist them in supporting homeless youth. Homeless youths often leave behind difficult and dysfunctional family situations, but in doing so are deprived of positive family rituals, celebrations and significant events that most of us take for granted. This disconnection creates feelings of loss and grief that present a challenge to those who are there to offer help in the community services sector.  

The Youth and Homelessness Resource Book for Workers and Agencies suggest ways to create opportunities for homeless youths to express their loss and feelings of grief, and integrate their unique experience through creative activities, symbolism and ritual. Short-term programs focus on change leading to positive transitions aimed at promoting a sense of hope for the future.
