How can young people successfully overcome crises? Which attitudes and strategies, which methods and settings are suitable for this? This practical handbook gives suggestions for advice, therapy, school, open youth work, educational aids and coaching; for working with young people with and without a migration background and young refugees. Andreas Fryszer and Hans-Werner Eggemann-Dann have supported young women and men in difficult circumstances and their families for decades. They are convinced that those who understand the interaction between the body, psyche and social aspects of young people, design flexible settings accordingly and use them with fearless respect and the right tools can help effectively. The authors describe different approaches that have proven themselves in their work and the special features of adolescence. The focus is always on the practical implementation and direct application of the approaches presented. Working with young people and their communities can be rewarding and successful when it is based on hope, competence and humility - however difficult and arduous crises and symptoms may be.
