"Lives in Crisis" reports on the findings of a qualitative study of
40 homeless young people in Dublin city. It documents their
journeys "into" homelessness and traces the life experiences and
events subsequent to them becoming homeless. Among other issues,
the book deals with the experience of being homeless; the challenge
of surviving on the street; relationships and friendships; drug use
and criminal activity; experiences of bullying, violence and
victimization; health and health-related behaviour; and,
help-seeking and coping strategies and service use and service
utilization."Lives in Crisis" provides a detailed overview and
discussion of the prevalence of youth (and adult) homelessness in
Ireland and outlines the services and interventions designed to
meet the needs of homeless youth in an Irish context. Written in a
highly accessible style, the book for the first time tells the
real-life stories of homeless young people in Dublin. In their own
words, these young people give us a better understanding of the
experience of homelessness based on their living "out of home",
that is, on the street, in hostels or in other unstable living
situations. This groundbreaking book explores the lives of homeless
youth, their accounts of how events unfolded in their lives and the
meanings they attach to becoming and being homeless.
