- Description
- While many young people experience significant challenges associated with debt, they are unlikely to seek support specifically for financial issues. In this report we share the findings of a research project that examined the roles of youth sector practitioners in supporting young people who are experiencing debt. We conducted interviews and focus groups with practitioners who provide services to young people in relation to housing, mental health, drug and alcohol use, out of home care, disability, domestic violence, financial counselling, advocacy and generalist casework. The practitioners reflected on how young people experience financial stress and debt and described the strategies they used to support these young people.
