Research suggests that mental health programs are typically inadequate to respond to the stressors that inner city youth experience (Weist & Christodulu, 2. Larson, 2. 00. 0). From the clients’ perspectives, this research aims to broaden the understanding of processes that make mental health services more accessible to and beneficial for inner city youth. Methods: Qualitative semi- structured interviews were conducted with 1. The participants ranged in age from 1.
Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, Panama, and Guyana as well as African- American, Puerto Rican and Dominican students. These single- session interviews lasted between 4.
Interview transcripts were analyzed using open and axial coding and conceptual mapping techniques. Results: The young people described a range of benefits they derived from program participation. As a fairly disparate grouping of individuals they succeeded at collectively creating an environment to provide and receive emotional and social support. They reported gaining a sense of ownership of the therapy; a sense of possibility in place of hopelessness and despair; and recognition of themselves as choice makers and performers of their lives. Many of the young people described a process whereby their negative identities were challenged through making a contribution to the collective building process.
They discussed how the social worker taught them to use the idea of performance in everyday life. As such, the experience of being “studied” was minimized. References: Larson, R. W.
