3.6 How Young People Get off the Street: Exploring Paths & Processes
Karabanow, Jeff
This chapter explores the ways in which young people across Canada attempt to get off the street and leave behind street culture. Through semistructured interviews with 128 young people and 50 service providers in six Canadian cities, the research identified strategies and challenges involved in leaving street life. Findings suggest that there are several interrelated dimensions to the process, including contemplation, motivation to change, securing help, making the transition from the street, changing daily routines, and redefining one’s sense of self.

Disclaimer
The Homeless Hub encourages discussion about the future of homelessness research, policy and services in Canada. This project began with an understanding that different stakeholders (in government, academia, and the social services sector) are likely to think about and utilize research in different ways. As such, the website was built with different stakeholders in mind. We invite your participation to ensure that a broad range of voices, including those experiencing homelessness, are represented.
You will encounter opinions and perspectives from varied sources. These may not reflect the views of the Homeless Hub, its funders or any other partner organization.
Be Respectful: We welcome your participation, but any comments that contain vulgar or offensive language, personal attacks, are wildly off-topic or otherwise inappropriate will be removed immediately and the offending party risks losing the ability to participate.
If You See Something Inappropriate, Report It: You may report any comment as inappropriate. Reported comments are immediately removed, pending review, so please report responsibly. The Homeless Hub has sole discretion in determining what is and what is not appropriate.
Don’t Include Personal Contact Information: To protect yourself and the privacy of others, please do not include phone numbers, e-mail addresses, or other personally identifying information in your comments. Such material will be removed from the site.
Do Not Request Services: This site is for the exchange of ideas and information regarding issues pertaining to homelessness. It is not an appropriate location to request services or make referrals.
Registrants are automatically subscribed to the Homeless Hub’s monthly e-newsletter.
Welcome! We look forward to interacting with you.
