About this Talk

The first stage in preventing youth homelessness is to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to avert a crisis.

In this session, Herts Young Homeless will explore: • how education can play a part in reducing youth homelessness • a practical example of a school programme in action • Good practice guidance when setting up prevention programmes in schools • How to build strong relationships with schools
