About This Item
New. The only work of its kind, in which a Youth Justice Specialist with experiences of crime and incarceration as a young person combines those lived experiences with practice and teaching theory to show how services can better serve and empathise with children and young people in trouble. Andi Brierley explains why existing ways of dealing with children and adolescents can at times be counterproductive. From the everyday atmosphere of reporting arrangements, to preoccupation with risk-management processes, to the language used by professionals, the author invites us to re-assess the consequences. These can be especially problematic if practitioners do not connect, attune, and resonate effectively. Something which requires sensitivity to how youngsters' brains and bodies react to toxic stress, complex trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including within their home life and the impact of being exposed to attachments to adults and peers involved in criminality in their 'village.' Centrally, better relationships help build self-esteem, worth, resilience and improve youngsters' choices. This is not something to be imposed or directed. It requires real connection so that they feel their lives, priorities, fears and pressures are understood. In this, Andi Brierley brings his extensive experience as both former prisoner and Youth Justice Specialist to bear - and whilst he champions the skills of others who have travelled his journey, he also explains how this approach can be used by anyone.
