Hello Everyone! My thesis is that homelessness in teens is a crisis in the city of Boston and city leaders can change this by creating more methadone clinics, making it easier for a young person who is trying to afford rent find a place that is affordable by creating more section eight apartments instead of luxury condominiums and to help find young teens who are showing up to the emergency room with clear signs of mental heath issues a way to cope with it on a day to day basis instead of letting themselves figure it out themselves. These issues affect multiple people because it is not only the young adults going through this but also their friends and family. The stakeholders would agree that it would be in everyone’s interest that the young adults are living in a home and that they are not struggling with substance abuse issues because it would improve the overall community and solve many issues that come with substance abuse issues and mental health issues. One of the many ideas I will use is that following a policy change, the number of homeless children and young adults who visited the emergency room had increased since there was change in housing regulations and in term they were going to the emergency room to find a place to sleep.( American Journal of Public Health, Aug2018)
Three search terms that I will use to help illustrate the common ground between stakeholders will be mental health, substance abuse and homelessness. These are terms that will definitely be using pathos because I will be trying to appeal to the emotions of the stakeholders and these words are terms that can easily be used to try to get feelings of empathy as well because it will be young children who need help and that it something that most people can feel some type of empathy for. What are you thoughts about young adults being homeless and what are some ways that we can prevent this from coming up as an issue in future?
