I am happy to share a big milestone in my journey.
My book, “Pathways to Youth Homelessness in Ireland”, has now been officially published and is available online.
This book is based on my academic research, where I explored the different pathways that lead young people into homelessness in Ireland, and the challenges faced by professionals working to support vulnerable youth. Writing this book was a very meaningful experience for me, both personally and professionally, and it reflects my strong interest in social care, youth work, and social justice.
I am grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way.
