Youth Homelessness Prevention Workshop

Wealden District Council, Eastbourne Borough Council and the YMCA have produced a DVD which includes information about youth homelessness and interviews with young people who have experienced real homeless situations, some of whom were living in temporary accommodation when interviewed. The DVD shows that homelessness amongst young people is really a last resort and not an option.

The Youth Homeless Prevention DVD has been made available to view online and consists of seven chapters. The first chapter can be viewed on this page, then just click the links below the video to see the other chapters.
