Children and youth at risk
Children and youth in situations of risk, marginalization and exclusion are often at the center of public and professional attention, yet too many of them do not receive adequate therapeutic and social services. The studies included here, which were done with students and co-researchers over decades, aim to shed light on the experiences of children and youth at risk and promote best-practice with them. We paid specific attention to a gendered perspective, which is critical to understanding their experience and intervening with them. The main populations we focused on were children exposed to domestic violence, homeless youth, girls at risk and youth who trade sex (referred to in the "sex trade" page)
