In this episode of Community In Mind, we’re joined by Angeli Sweeney, an emancipatory youth worker and senior mental health practitioner at 42nd Street, a Manchester-based mental health charity for young people.
We explore what emancipatory youth work looks like in practice, the role of creativity in supporting young people’s wellbeing and confidence, and how organisations can create more inclusive, culturally responsive mental health services. Angeli also shares reflections on the challenges, learning, and hope that come from working in anti-oppressive, youth-centred ways.
