This study explores the opportunities and challenges of fostering social support across street-involved young people's mental health and substance use (MHSU) treatment trajectories. We conducted in-depth interviews with youth and their providers between 2017 and 2021. Findings demonstrate that family and others could be crucial catalysts for initiating and re-engaging in MHSU treatment among youth. However, many reported not receiving enough assistance from service providers in navigating complex social relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. Our findings underscore the need for a more holistic approach to MHSU treatment that encircles the young person and their social networks, including caregivers.
本研究探讨了在涉及街头的年轻人的心理健康和物质使用(MHSU)治疗轨迹中培养社会支持的机遇与挑战。我们在2017年至2021年期间对年轻人及其服务提供者进行了深入访谈。研究结果表明,家庭和其他人可能是促使年轻人开始并重新参与MHSU治疗的关键催化剂。然而,许多人报告称,在与家人、朋友和恋爱伴侣建立复杂的社会关系方面,他们没有从服务提供者那里得到足够的帮助。我们的研究结果强调,需要一种更全面的MHSU治疗方法,该方法应围绕年轻人及其社会网络,包括照顾者。
