“…Literature on young people who lack permanent or stable shelter is largely focused on health and social consequences of unstable housing, drug and alcohol misuse, and young people's participation in frequent at‐risk behaviors, such as criminal or risky sexual activities. Existing research reveals that these young people experience higher rates of victimization and trauma, sexual risk, discrimination, and systems involvement than their housed peers (Bender, Thompson, Ferguson, Yoder, & DePrince, ; Snyder et al, ; Tierney & Hallett, ).…”

This study used Photovoice methods with young adults experiencing homelessness to collaboratively identify issues that are of greatest importance in an open‐ended, exploratory, and inductive manner. Participants selected two concepts to focus their inquiry: freedom and prosperity. Within these concepts, participants discussed nature as a source of inspiration, a desire to better themselves and to change their situations, and passion for contributing to social change by exposing economic inequality and raising awareness about homelessness. These findings demonstrate that young people are keenly aware of the structural and macro‐level factors that have contributed to their risks of social exclusion and marginalization.

“…Maltreated adolescents instead may turn to a host of other coping strategies, such as disengagement or antisocial behaviors (using alcohol or engaging in self-harm), that do not change their emotions; although these strategies may still help the adolescents distance themselves psychologically from the emotional experience (Blechman & Culhane, 1993;Chapman, Gratz, & Brown, 2006;Snyder et al, 2016). The use of these strategies may even increase across the adolescent years, due to both the growing social demands placed on adolescents during this period and maltreated adolescents' greater awareness of their situation (Laye-Gindhu & Schonert-Reichl, 2005;Young et al, 2002).…”

Child maltreatment leads to deleterious effects in virtually every developmental domain, including cognitive, psychological, and behavioral functioning. Although difficulties with coping have been identified as contributing to these effects, less attention has been paid to the precise nature of maltreated children's coping difficulties, particularly in terms of the strategies they use to cope with negative emotions and how these strategies vary with age. We asked maltreated (n = 195) and comparison (n = 103) 10 to 17 year olds to describe emotional experiences and what strategies they used to cope with those emotions. Maltreated adolescents reported using more disengagement and antisocial strategies than did comparison adolescents. Differences between maltreated and comparison adolescents were consistent across age. Results have important implications for treatment and intervention efforts designed to improve coping strategies among vulnerable maltreated populations.

“…Although individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ represent about 3–5% of the United States population, they account for 20–40% of the unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness (Snyder et al., ). One explanation involves youth being forced out of their family homes for religious or other reasons related to parents and guardians disagreeing with identifying as LGBTQ+.…”
