Youth Without Family to Lean On draws together interdisciplinary,
global perspectives to provide a comprehensive review of the
characteristics, dynamics, and development of youth (aged 15-25)
who have no family to lean on, either practically or
psychologically. In this timely volume, Mozes and Israelashvili
bring together leading international experts to present updated
knowledge, information on existing interventions, and unanswered
questions in relation to youth without family to lean on, in
pursuit of fostering these youth's positive development. The
various chapters in this book include discussions on different
topics such as social support, developing a sense of belonging,
parental involvement, and internalized vs. externalized problems;
on populations, including homeless youth, residential care-leavers,
refugees, asylum-seekers, young women coming from vulnerable
families, and school dropouts; and interventions to promote these
youths' mentoring relationships, labor market attainment,
out-of-home living placements, use of IT communication, and
participation in community-based programs. Additionally, various
problems and challenges are presented and elaborated on, such as:
Who needs support? Who is qualified to provide support? How should
related interventions be developed? The book takes a preventive
approach and aims to emphasize steps that can be taken in order to
promote young people's positive development in spite of the absence
of a family to rely on in their life and examines the best
practices in this context, as well as the international lessons
that deserve further dissemination and exploration. This book is
essential reading for those in psychology, sociology, public
health, social work, law, criminology, public policy, economics,
and education and is highly enriching for scholars and
practitioners, as well as higher education students, who wish to
understand and help the gradually increasing number of youth who
are forced, too early, to manage their life alone.
