ABSTRACT
Knowing That Support is Available at Every Stage of the Journey: Tailoring Youth Homelessness Responses to Domestic, Family, and Sexual Violence
The intersection between young people’s experiences of homelessness and domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) remains underdiscussed in policy and research. Critically absent from this discussion is young people’s input into how they would like to receive support. To address this lack of youth voice, this briefing paper platforms young people’s input into the development of a youth-focused DFSV practice framework. It highlights the important role of youth-led, trauma-informed approaches to care which model authentic relationships between young people and practitioners.
