Despite these challenges, the young person demonstrated clear career aspirations, a strong sense of potential, and a desire to move forward. At home, tensions had increased, but the young person’s openness to support signalled readiness for change.

Professional Feedback:

The young person has shown increased emotional insightresilience, and ownership of their future. They are now actively applying strategies to manage their emotions and are taking confident steps toward their goals.


This case highlights how strengths-based, family-inclusive support can empower young people to reconnect with education, rebuild relationships, and pursue their aspirations with confidence and clarity.
