What the stories tell us
Young people who are asked to leave home in an unplanned way may find it very scary at first…
It makes it more manageable to take a step at a time.
There are a lot of different steps in a young person’s journey which may include staying with friends, staying in supported living for a time.
There is support for young people who find themselves in this situation (support workers, young peoples’ projects, social workers, teachers, health workers, peer mentoring/buddy schemes).
Young people can keep old/set up new links to schools, college, job and volunteering opportunities, health-care which can be important as well as good housing.
