Baobab Research Webinar: Exploring connections and help-seeking: A social network analysis study with unaccompanied refugee young people in London
<p>In our first ever Baobab research webinar, we proudly present Victoria Touzel, a Public Health PhD candidate at the University of Bielefeld (Germany), who has conducted research with the young people from the Baobab community. </p><p>The webinar dives into the project, which is a feasibility study testing how to map the social networks of unaccompanied refugee young people, focusing on their friendships, social systems and the people that help them navigate life in London. It explores who the young people turn to for help, which kind of help, the role played by absent (distant) figures of support, and the many difficulties our young people experience in building networks of support, even after many years in the UK. </p><p>This project raises many questions from the role charities play in ''building bridges'' - helping young people build networks of support outside of our organisation -- to how Baobab's holistic model of work (where support is therapeutic, casework, relational and community-based) is actually experienced by young people, to how unacknowledged powers dynamics come to shape interviews and findings. </p>
