by Frank Lipman

Are you tired of feeling worn out, sick, and overweight?Why is it that we experience weight gain, fatigue, aches and pains, illnesses, and memory loss as we get older? While these ailments do become more common in our 30s and 40s, they aren’t inevitable. In fact, we are perfectly capable of remaining young, slim, and vigorous —and our brains can absolutely stay clear and sharp —if we give them what they need. What’s that? The right foods, plenty of sleep, and the healthy movement our bodies are craving.The problem is that most of us don’t do that. We don’t realize what our bodies need, so we eat the wrong foods, skimp on sleep, and deprive our bodies of the movement they crave. Overwhelmed by the stresses and the pressures of our lives, we take a host of prescriptions, never realizing how they might be disrupting our body’s innate ability to heal. Most insidious of all, many of us lack the personal support and the community that we need to feel fully alive.

Young Children in Humanitarian and COVID-19 Crises: Innovations and Lessons from the Global South (Routledge Humanitarian Studies)

by Sweta Shah Lucy Bassett

The long-term consequences of COVID-19 have been tough for children around the world, but even more so for young children already in humanitarian crisis, whether due to conflict, natural disasters, or economic and political upheaval. This book investigates how organizations around the world responded to these dual challenges, identifying solutions, and learning opportunities to help to support young children in ongoing and future crises. Drawing on research and voices from the Global South, this book showcases innovations to mobilize new funds and re-allocate existing resources to protect children during the pandemic. It provides important evidence on understudied and overlooked vulnerable populations, recognizing that researchers from the Global South are best positioned to fill these research gaps, contextualize findings, and support the uptake and adoption of recommendations by local decision-makers and practitioners in those same contexts. The findings in this book will be important for practitioners, policy makers and donors working in or interested in humanitarian contexts, on early childhood development, or early childhood education. The book will also be useful to students and researchers working in these fields.

Young People and Sexual Exploitation: 'It's Not Hidden, You Just Aren't Looking'

by Jenny J. Pearce

Work with sexually exploited young people can be rewarding yet difficult. They can be hard to access, often presenting challenging behaviour. Sometimes it is painful to hear their life stories, whether these include abuse through the Internet or exploitation experienced through having been trafficked into and within the country. Jenny J. Pearce draws on young people’s voices to explore the difficulties that arise for researchers and for practitioners when working with sexually exploited young people. While child protection interventions must guide social work, she argues that other agencies such as health, education, housing and training each have a role to play in supporting a sexually exploited young person. Challenging the uncritical acceptance of the child as victim, the book suggests ‘therapeutic outreach’ as an approach to working with sexually exploited young people that can complement child protection procedures, support practitioners in the field and enhance the young person’s sense of autonomy and responsibility during their transition to adulthood. The book advocates the relationship between practitioners and the young people they aim to support to be one of the most important resources in practice. Young People and Sexual Exploitation will be essential reading for anyone interested in preventing the sexual exploitation of children and young people. It will be particularly relevant for academics, students, practitioners and policymakers in the fields of social policy and social work, child and family work, child protection and youth work.

Young People and the Aesthetics of Health Promotion: Beyond Reason, Rationality and Risk (Youth, Young Adulthood and Society)

by Kerry Montero Peter Kelly

Health promotion with young people has largely been framed by theories of behaviour change to target ‘unsafe’, ‘unhealthy’ and/or ‘risky’ behaviours. These theories and models seek to encourage the development in young people of reasoned, rational and risk-aware personal strategies. This book presents an innovative and critical perspective on young people and health promotion. It explores the limits and possibilities of traditional health behaviour change models with their focus on reason, risk and rationality by examining the embodied dimensions of meaning-making in health promotion programs. Drawing on an array of critical social theories and approaches to knowledge production the authors identify and engage the aesthetic and affective dimensions of young people’s engagement with issues such as road safety, sexualities, alcohol and drug use, and physical and mental health and well-being. The book will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the fields of health promotion and health education, public health, education, the sociology of health and illness, youth studies and youth work.

Young People in Out-of-Home Care: Findings from the Ontario Looking After Children Project (Health and Society)

by Robert J. Flynn Meagan Miller Tessa Bell Barbara Greenberg Cynthia Vincent

La maltraitance est généralement considérée comme étant la forme d’adversité la plus grave à laquelle peuvent être confrontés les enfants et les adolescents. Les jeunes victimes de mauvais traitement qui présentent le niveau de risque le plus élevé sont susceptibles d’être prises en charge dans des structures extrafamiliales – familles d’accueil, soins intrafamiliaux, foyers de groupe ou vie autonome – pour leur propre protection. Young People in Out-of-Home Care est le compte rendu des travaux de recherche appliquée et d’évaluation effectués depuis plus de 20 ans dans le cadre du programme S’occuper des enfants en Ontario (SOCEN), qui a vu le jour en 2000.Le programme SOCEN est fondé sur une nouvelle approche en matière d’aide sociale à l’enfance appelée « S’occuper des enfants » (Looking After Children) développée au Royaume-Uni à la fin des années 1980 et dans les années 1990. Cette approche visait à réformer et à améliorer les services offerts aux enfants et aux jeunes vulnérables qui étaient pris en charge dans des structures extrafamiliales. Lors de son démarrage en 2000, le programme SOCEN a « canadianisé » l’approche britannique et a établi des partenariats avec l’Association ontarienne des sociétés de l’aide à l’enfance et une vingtaine de sociétés d’aide à l’enfance de la province. Depuis 2007, le gouvernement de l’Ontario exige que les sociétés d’aide à l’enfance de la province utilisent la méthode SOCEN dans la planification de leurs services et le suivi des résultats.Depuis l’an 2000, le programme S’occuper des enfants en Ontario (SOCEN) a recueilli des données sur les résultats et le bien-être en interviewant plus de 35 000 jeunes pris en charge ainsi que leurs soignantes et soignants et leurs intervenantes et intervenants en services d’aide sociale à l’enfance. Young People in Out-of-Home Care présente les principales conclusions et recommandations du programme qui permettront d’améliorer l’éducation, le développement, la santé, les relations sociales et familiales de même que la santé mentale des enfants et des jeunes, ainsi que leur transition vers la vie communautaire.

Young People in the Global South: Voice, Agency and Citizenship (Rethinking Development)

by Kate Pincock Nicola Jones Lorraine Van Blerk Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda

Young People in the Global South: Voice, Agency and Citizenship explores the spatial, relational, affective and material dimensions of adolescents’ and young people’s civic engagement and political participation in lower- and middle-income contexts. This textbook questions how the ‘everyday politics’ of exercising voice and agency is experienced at different scales, from the interpersonal to the global. It explores how structural inequalities and marginalisation, as well as social norms and attitudes, shape how voice, agency and participation are expressed by diverse young people in particular contexts with unique histories. Contributing authors focus on the experiences of young people who are marginalised based on age, gender, sexuality, disability, citizenship status and geographical location. Together they show how ageing through adolescence enables or constrains agency and voice. Textbook features include case studies on Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, as well as reflective accounts authored by adolescents and young people themselves, discussion questions and eResources. Filling a key gap in the knowledge about the concerns and experiences of young people in contexts beyond the Global North, this textbook will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners in the fields of childhood and youth studies, international development, social movements, human geography, sociology and comparative politics.
