Abstract

This paper is about the change within the youth center that targets youth in Care; it discusses both sides of the coin, the negative and positive impact when changes or new strategies are applied to the existing youth center. For instance, some of the positive changes include national and international policy concentration on the young adults, implementation of ‘The Residential Youth Care Worker in Action.’, and implementing leisure time as a health-enhancing setting in youth centers. On the other side, some of the changes result in a negative impact on the youth. For instance, a study carried out on dully-involved Los Angeles County’s youth showed that lack of adequate healthcare centers is detrimental to the kids. Other changes are implementing policies that do not support the youths, and peer pressure in youth centers care, leading to substance abuse among young adults.

The Change within the Youth Center that Target Youth in Care

Introduction

The youth center is a recreational and socially anticipated place mainly used by young youths between 11-18 years. In some instances, kids as young as five years old utilize this youth centers facility, although special programs must be aligned to promote their growth and developments. The care centers create lifetime opportunities for young youths to develop their cognitive capabilities, social, physical, emotional, and to experience leadership skills, achievement, friendship, recognition, and enjoyment in their daily life. Most youth centers and cares globally provide well-structured and planned instructional programs for physical activities, including martial arts, dance, and yoga, some for academic and art courses, including science, theater, and craft. Besides, youth centers provide chances for unstructured practices, including club gatherings, outdoor play, game playing, and socializing. As much as these free practices are a vital section of youth cares centers, most are worked facilities, and control and supervision are essential components. Most of these elements affect facility design, as do concerns for the youth appealing and youth-friendly design. (Hirsch et al., 2018)

There are many changes in the youth centers in the world today, and these changes have an impact on the youths. Some of the changes have negative results, and others have positive results. One of the changes with a positive impact is the national and international policy concentration on young adults. Lengthy discussions amid culturally unique explanations of young adults and multipurpose notions have contributed to good behavior socially, subsequently renegotiated, and challenged by some of the individuals between and within the communities. Youth centers are a critical sociological group since they point out power associations' structure within a provided empirical surrounding. Youth centers are viewed as an antagonistic group since it is broadly used by individuals in different socio-political ranks to sanction, legitimize, authorize, assemble, or sideline the young youths or people. (Snellinger, 2018)

Another change that positively impacts youths is implementing the 'The Residential Youth Care Worker in Action.' It provides a competency-founded and collaborative tactic that would help youth care employees comprehend different psychiatric labels. It helps give psychotropic prescriptions, manage staffing and any crisis, and provide correct evaluations to the young adults in various youth care centers. It stresses ideas that concentrate on young adults' capabilities and strengths from the evaluation phase of medications until the day of discharge. The residential youth care worker in the action approach acts to clear up the socio-gap amid suburban care providers by stressing out the ideas the therapists have been applying for decades. This approach gives the youths in care centers a chance to make the best out of their life. (Bertolino et al., 2014)

On the other hand, some changes have negative impacts on the youth in care centers. One of them is the lack of adequate services in health care centers. Dually-participated young adults signify a population of young people who simultaneously acquire management from both juvenile justice coordination's and children's welfare. A study carried out on dully-involved Los Angeles County's youth exhibited that educational threats negatively related to mental well-being services evaluated showed that kids with higher educational risks for mental well-being services (Hirsch et al., 2018). Without appropriate measures and quicker intervention techniques, these young adults have escalated the threat of having mental health problems, occupational challenges, educational issues, and safety and public issues at large. Another change is the action or implementation of policies that do not support the youths. The outcomes of research done on youth's adaptation in the context of vagrancy showed increased rates of upsetting stress, externalizing, and internalizing signs within kids with no hope for a change over one-month (Haskett, 2017). In my project, I will be discussing the changes in youth centers that affect the youths in care, encouraging the positive changes, and integrating ways to stop the negative changes.
