Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of "Streetkids." 1st & Main is a passion project years in the making. The story serves to look at the lives, struggles, and varied backgrounds of homeless youth in America. The 1st & Main series is based in a world that could be any city in America as the challenges of youth homelessness can occur anywhere. The stories will endeavor to challenge your own personal thoughts on an epidemic problem in our country.This work of fiction is based on real experiences of homeless youth living in Salt Lake City, Utah, during the early 2000s. Though years have passed, unfortunately, it is still a problem faced by many young adults to this day. This novel takes the realities of homeless youth. It builds them into a fictional story that explores many of the real-world challenges faced day by day. The story holds nothing back and includes the graphic language, complicated situations, and reality that Streetkids live with on the street every day. While the focus is on youth homelessness, it also touches on equity, alcohol and drug abuse, verbal, physical, sexual abuse, and more.The story was initially written as a screenplay around 2010 and then produced for film and video in 2016. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, the production was halted before it could be completed. After several years of trying to launch a new production, it was decided to novelize the story to tell this important and impactful story to the world.To expose the reader to the inner world of being a Streetkid, we follow a teenage girl who runs away from home. She escapes a callous home life and trades it for a world she doesn't know or understand. Through her experience befriending a group of Streetkids, we will learn with her what life on the street is really like. We will learn together what it takes to survive each day. As we get to know several homeless youths, we will learn some of the reasons they ended up on the street, the challenges they deal with, and their hopes and dreams for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeless youth face countless barriers that limit their ability to complete a high school diploma and transition to postsecondary education. Their experiences vary widely based on family, access to social services, and where they live. More than half of the 1.5 million homeless youth in America are in fact living "doubled-up," staying with family or friends because of economic hardship and often on the brink of full-on homelessness. Educational Experiences of Hidden Homeless Teenagers investigates the effects of these living situations on educational participation and higher education access. First-hand data from interviews, observations, and document analysis shed light on the experience of four doubled-up adolescents and their families. The author demonstrates how complex these residential situations are, while also identifying aspects of living doubled-up that encourage educational success. The findings of this powerful book will give students, researchers, and policymakers an invaluable look at how this understudied segment of the adolescent population navigates their education.

Book excerpt: As a teen librarian, you are more likely than not to encounter teens with mental health issues. Will you know how to help them? This guide explains what to do and what not to do. Mental illness among teens has risen to epidemic levels. When mental health issues come to the library, what is the librarian's role? This book asserts that you don't have to be a social worker or mental health professional to provide guidance to teens with mental health issues. By creating collections that contain mental health resources, working with community partners, and initiating dialogues with library patrons that de-stigmatize mental illness, you can serve a positive and proactive role in helping teens to get help. This book provides readers with practical guidelines for building collections, programs, and services that support teens experiencing mental health challenges and explains how to create a supportive, welcoming environment in the library. In addition, it shows how to forge partnerships with other community agencies in this endeavor, how to advocate for mentally ill teens, and how to teach them to advocate for themselves. Lastly, it discusses how to evaluate these programs and services, and how to take care of your own needs while serving others.
