Approaches to working with youth, young adults and families maneuvering issues of mental health and addiction have called for increased resources to address the problem.

摘要

Approaches to working with youth, young adults and families maneuvering issues of mental health and addiction have called for increased resources to address the problem. Traditional approaches have been shown to be less attractive and in many cases less effective in engaging this population (Duke, et al., The engagement of young people in drug interventions in coercive contexts: Findings from a cross-national European study. Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy, 28(1), 26–35, 2020; Klingemann, Successes and failures in treatment of substance abuse: Treatment system perspectives and lessons from the European continent. Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, 37(4), 323–337, 2020; Waldron et al., Engaging resistant adolescents in drug abuse treatment. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, 32(2), 133–142, 2007). Eternal Strength works with those experiencing loneliness, alienation, and disaffiliation with traditional mental health (Maiese, Neoliberalism and mental health education. Journal of Philosophy of Education, 56(1), 67–77, 2022). Eternal Strength focuses on re-engaging youth struggling with mental health challenges and substance abuse through a collaborative and collective approach to building and sustaining a therapeutic milieu. Eternal Strength is based on principles derived from scholarship developed by Hans Skott-Myhre and Kathleen Skott-Myhre (Radical youth work: Love and community. Relational Child and Youth Care Practice, 20(3), 48–57, 2008), Skott-Myhre (Post-capitalist subjectivity in literature and anti-psychiatry: Reconceptualizing the self beyond capitalism. Routledge, 2020) in their utilization of Radical Youth Work, defined by Skott-Myhre as youth and adults working together for common political purposes. This approach blends with elements of humanistic psychology (Rogers, On becoming a person. Harper, 1995; Watts, Psychotherapy east & west. New World Library, 2017), the radical systems theory of Gregory Bateson (Steps to an ecology of mind: Collected essays in anthropology, psychiatry, evolution, and epistemology.
