Culturally Appropriate Mentoring for Horn of African Young People in Australia
Griffiths, Megan; Sawrikar, Pooja; Muir, Kristy
Youth Studies Australia, v28 n2 p32-40 Jun 2009
Little is known about how to appropriately adapt mentoring programs for young people from the Horn of Africa, even though they have been arriving in Australia in significantly increasing numbers. These young people face unique challenges as a result of their age, ethnicity, migration and direct/indirect trauma experiences. The results of this research will help mentoring providers appropriately tailor programs for Horn of African young people. (Contains 4 notes.)
