description |
Many young persons live under difficult circumstances. Factors including
HIV/AIDS pandemic, exacerbate the need to place young persons into alternative
placements. The new and the unknown can be frightening but carrying a faithful
transitional object establishes therapeutic bridge between the old and known and
the new and unknown.
This study sought to explore South African child and youth care workers'
awareness of young persons' objects of significance in residential care settings.
The rational was that with greater awareness, important objects may become a
more useful option for the promotion of young persons' well-being.
The research confirmed that South African child and youth care workers are
aware of the existence and importance of significant objects. It further revealed
that young persons possess different objects of significance to which workers
need to pay careful attention. === Research Institute for Theology and Religion === M.Tech. (Child and Youth Care) |
