Changing Experiences of Youth

Examining the various experiences of youth in multicultural societies, Changing Experiences of Youth highlights the many complexities, contradictions, and achievements that characterize the experiences of our youth today. The authors explore young people s lives and experiences, services provided for young people, and the experiences of those who work with youth. This innovative anthology covers issues such as incest, anorexia and bulimia nervosa, and racism and violence, but also includes essays by those who have survived and built upon similar experiences. It also addresses the major issues affecting young people that are rarely acknowledged, including self-help, community contributions, discrimination, isolation, treatment, and mistreatment. Changing Experiences of Youth is invaluable to those training to work with young people in social work, youth and community work, education and health care, and criminal justice settings, and will also be relevant to those already with working with youth.
