Christian, J. and Clapham, D. (2010) The role of efficacy and well-being in guiding the use of education and training services by young homeless mothers. Housing, Care and Support, 13 (3). pp. 14-19. ISSN 1460-8790 doi: 10.5042/hcs.2010.0706

Abstract/Summary

This paper builds on previous work applying the concept of well-being to the field of housing. It uses the concepts of self-esteem, efficacy and social identity to explore the situations of a group of young homeless mothers. In particular, it focuses on the impact of well-being factors, among others, in understanding the uptake of education and training services. The paper concludes by arguing that well-being issues are crucial for housing agencies and others who want to engage with young homeless people.
