Preventing HIV/AIDS and Promoting Sexual Health among Especially Vulnerable Young People
No full textThis document reports on an expert group meeting on young people's sexual health. The good practice guide introduces practitioners, policy-makers and researchers to two distinct but related concepts - risk and vulnerability. The guide explores how gender, race, culture, sexuality and social status all influence young people's experiences of sexual relationships and makes some more vulnerable to poor sexual health.Using case studies from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe, this resource sets out guidelines to inform work with especially vulnerable young people (including young people who sell sex, young people who inject drugs, and young migrants and refugees).The expert group meeting was attended by NGO and other project workers from all over the world. These projects and their experiences are described. The final section of the report consolidates lessons learned from these projects and the meeting. These include- consideration of the complexity of young people's vulnerabilities- holistic and multi-levelled programmes work best- existing positive behaviours often exist and should be strengthened- evaluation and evidence based programming is necessary- young people's involvement at all levels is essential- programmes should be fun and encourage a sense of pride in involvement - different responses are needed for young people of different genders, backgrounds and nationalities - gendered and rights based approaches are seen to be successful - governments are responsible for taking action but the involvement of NGOs and CBOs is essential, where these work together, success is greatest- programmes that focus on outreach and service accessibility have been most successful
Interview with Cathy Ulrich
No full textThis spring, the students in UND’s ENGL 414 workshop (The Art of Writing Fiction) read a collection of micro and flash fictions titled Ghosts of You, by Cathy Ulrich. With its use of second person and a penchant for turning tropes of crime fiction on their heads, this book is a must read. Three ENGL 414 students had the opportunity to interview the author via email to discuss Cathy Ulrich’s intentions in Ghosts of You, as well as her own personal writing techniques. To borrow from how each story in Ghosts of You begins, “The thing about being the [interviewer] is you set the plot in motion.” Floodwal

Young people's help-seeking: an alternative model
No full textThis article is based on a study of young people's help-seeking. Fifty-five qualitative interviews with young people aged 13–14 are analysed to take account of stage process models. It is argued that while the models do have relevance to young people's help-seeking, they have two key limitations. First, they ignore problem legitimization. Second, they do not accord a place in young people's currenthelp-seeking to prior help-seeking pathways. The view that stage process models represent help-seeking as individualized and static led to the formulation by the author of an alternative help-seeking model, in which problem legitimization from micro to macro levels is incorporated alongside young people's prior helpseeking pathways. <br/
