Evidence Summary: Individual Counseling and Related Interventions for Youth Homelessness
Morton, M. H.; Farrell, A. F.; Kugley, S.; Epstein, R. A.
Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago
The Voices of Youth Count initiative's systematic evidence review is the most comprehensive synthesis of evaluation evidence on programs and practices related to youth homelessness to date. This document is one in a series of seven topical evidence summaries derived from the longer evidence review brief. Herein, evaluations of individual counseling and treatment interventions for youth experiencing homelessness are summarized. These interventions typically involve non-housing, non-family-based interventions primarily focused on delivering therapeutic or health-related counseling or treatment to youth experiencing homelessness. The evidence here includes only impact evaluations designed to assess measurable changes in outcomes due to specific programs and practices. [For the longer evidence review brief, "Missed Opportunities: Evidence on Interventions for Addressing Youth Homelessness," see ED603003.]
