| dc.description.abstract | Accessing mental health and substance-use services for at-risk young people comes with its own challenges (Graves et al., 2024). Looking at studies that discuss community-based programs and services targeting this population, reveals that outreach programs and peer support workers improve the chance of adolescents getting the care they need (Tuaf & Orkibi, 2023). By exploring and turning into the community, it was discovered that including young people in the creation and development of youth programs ensures their relevance and effectiveness (Settipani et al., 2019; Henderson et al., 2019). This capstone research highlights the importance of community-based youth services in providing hope and help to vulnerable young people. By finding studies on what works, we shed light on how increasing awareness of community-based approaches, the integration of peer support has emerged as a promising avenue to enhance mental health and substance-use services (Englander et al., 2020; Lennox et al., 2021). The limitations that were addressed include a variety of barriers, such as financial constraints, social stigma, cultural disparities, and geographical obstacles (Castillo et al., 2019; Graves et al., 2024). The purpose of exploring these complexities is to deepen our understanding of the issues that vulnerable youth experience. Additionally, it highlights potential strategies that might be useful to help young people, like community-based initiatives and joint efforts with peer support workers (Castillo et al., 2019). The purpose is to support young people through these barriers and improve health equity (Castillo et al., 2019). | |
