Is it important for social workers to listen to youths’ voice during the intervention?

You’re welcome.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Yes. This is concerning because when social workers are left to rely on adult interpretations of their realities, there is a risk that young people’s needs and priorities will be misinterpreted. Engaging youths as partners, leaders, and decision-makers in the interventions can help to ensure that prevention and community development efforts are well aligned with youth priorities and needs.
