Youth workers must offer uncompromised feedback within a safe, unbreakable relationship

Evidence

In youth work, the most important tool is oneself, one’s own values and attitudes. It’s about giving the kids feedback in the protective space of the relationship: How does it come across when you say that? There’s no relationship breakup, no matter what they say. They can try it out and learn. — Holm Gero Hümmler, Ulrike Schiesser, Fact and Prejudice, 714
