I supported 14-17 year olds who were at risk of becoming homelessness due to breakdown of communication with their family.

By using these methods it allowed both parents and the young person to understand more about each other’s feeling and enabled them both to come up with resolutions that met both of their needs allowed the young person to stay at home.
