Being trusted: The perspectives of trusted adults about engaging with young people

Children and Youth Services Review, 2016, vol. 63, issue C, 58-66

Abstract: Trusted adults outside the home often play an important role in young people's lives, providing motivational, emotional and practical support as young people navigate the social and economic transitions of young adulthood. Their support is developmentally appropriate as they often treat young people as adults, as they are guiding them towards that status. Yet knowledge of trusted adult relationships is largely drawn from the perspectives of young people. How do trusted adults themselves experience the relationship?
