For a young person
If you are 15-29 years old and you feel that you need help with everyday matters, then Etisvä youth work is just for you. In investigative youth work, meetings play a central role. The meetings emphasize being present, listening and respecting the young person. In other words, the employee wants to help you.
The employee listens to you when you want to talk about your thoughts, feelings, affiliations or everyday challenges. In this way, your situation can be mapped and you can begin to organize the things that promote your well-being in everyday life. The time and place of the meetings can be arranged to suit you.
Detective youth work moves around Äänekoski, Suolahti, Sumiais and Konginkanga. Our office is located at Kuhnamontie 3b, 44100 Äänekoski, where meetings can also be arranged.
Prospective youth workers have a duty of confidentiality. All conversations held remain between you and the employee. Together with the employee, you can think about how things should be arranged so that you can move forward in life according to a schedule that suits you.
When things seem difficult
The employee is there for you and walks by your side even when things seem too difficult to figure out alone. If you are wondering what investigative youth work is in practice, here are a few examples:
- Finding out about things, such as applying for school or jobs, looking for an apartment, filling out forms, advising on financial matters...
- Getting started in everyday activities, such as housework, cooking, going to the store...
- Encountering and being present, such as having coffee, pleasant things to do together, finding hobbies...
