The purpose of the Pathways to Resilience research was to understand the role of service systems in mitigating the effects of adversity and in maximising the potential of good outcomes for youth with complex needs. It examined the service experiences of youth involved in more than one service system, the role which other supports and resources played in their lives and the links between these and a range of outcomes. The research is youth focused – that is it emphasises youth understandings of their experiences. It uses an ecological definition of resilience and examines risks at both the individual and contextual levels.
THE RESEARCH SOUGHT TO ANSWER FIVE KEY QUESTIONS:1. What key personal and ecological factors precipitate children and young people’s entry into multiple service systems?2. When services are provided in particular ways does this make a difference to functional outcomes?3. What key personal and ecological factors facilitate functional outcomes?4. How do high-risk children and young people construct healthy and resilient identities as they negotiate for resources with families/
whänau and services?5. What impact does collaboration between families/whänau and professionals play in effective service provision?
OVERVIEW OF THE PATHWAYS STUDY
THE RESEARCH QUESTIONS
CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT
BACK START NEXT
Multiple service using youth (MSU) reported very different lives to CG youth. The data suggests an enduring accumulation of disadvantage, stress and distress across all key domains of MSU youth lives that is likely to translate into reduced life chances and poorer outcomes for these youth. For example, MSU youth were less likely to live with their parents and were more likely to live in larger households. MSU youth were less likely to have a sustained and enduring relationship with a caregiving figure that was positive; they were less likely to have experienced closeness and attachment with caregivers.
MSU youth were more likely to become involved in intimate relationships with peers at younger ages than were CG youth. This could indicate efforts by MSU youth to find nurturing positive relationships that were emotionally sustaining. Sometimes youth tried to reduce their contact with anti-social peers in order to reduce their overall risk levels. However, this

strategy created mental health risks, as it increased their social isolation and therefore they simply exchanged one set of risks for another. To be an effective risk reduction strategy they needed support to find new pro-social peer relationships or intensely supportive relationships with positive adults. Finding functional, safe and supportive relationships was a challenge faced by MSU youth but not by CG youth.
MSU youth were exposed to more risks in their families, neighbourhoods, schools and in their own behaviours than CG youth. MSU youth were less likely to be attending school, to achieve school qualifications and to report a sense of belonging at school.
Neither school nor home consistently provided a safe, nurturing space for MSU youth. Most stopped attending school before year 11 yet they retained a desire to achieve educationally.
MSU youth reported lower resilience and higher risks than CG youth. Within the MSU group, Pākehā youth reported lower levels of risks but also lower functional outcomes (such as prosociality, positive peer relationships and future aspirations) than other youth. Māori youth reported higher risks, higher resilience and better outcomes than Pākehā youth. While Pacific youth reported lower risks, higher resilience and the highest outcomes of all youth. Culturally-anchored resilience processes appeared to bring some benefits for Māori and Pacific MSU youth. These culturally-anchored patterns have implications for service providers. For instance, greater impact on outcomes for Māori youth may be achieved by focusing on risk while for Pākehā youth a focus on relational resilience processes may make the greatest impact.
MSU youth experiences suggest a pattern of accelerated transitions to adulthood and compressed childhoods. MSU youth missed out on many facets of childhood that are important in terms of healthy development and they also had to shoulder adult responsibilities early. These types of experiences made it difficult for them to participate and achieve in important domains such as education. They were exposed to large amounts of risk, trauma and abuse which they often needed to cope with alone, and their coping skills such as high levels of substance use, self harm, running away, reflected this.

The research programme has four linked components:1. A survey of Multiple Service Using (MSU) and Comparison Group (CG) youth aged
between 12 and 17 years; 2. A survey of adults nominated by MSU youth as knowing the most about them (PMK -
person most knowledgeable);3. Qualitative interviews with a subsample of MSU youth and their PMK;4. Reviews of case files held by a range of organisations that worked with the
subsample of MSU youth.
1477(605MSU and 872CG) youth were recruited from community organisations and schools. All youth completed a questionnaire (PRYM) that captured demographic information, lifetime service use patterns and satisfaction with services, access to community supports and resources, relationships with family and friends, school engagement and academic achievements as well as a range of subscales that measured risk-taking behaviours, pro-social behaviour, risk of depression, risk of conduct problems, peer problems, perception of community risk and resilience (CYRM-28); an ecological measure covering individual, relational and contextual dimensions. Interviews were also completed with PMK nominated by MSU youth.A subset of 109 MSU youth were selected for this phase based on their risk and resilience scores so that youth

facing the highest levels of risk and with the highest and lowest levels of ecological support around them were invited into this phase. Semi-structured interviews with youth and PMK were completed that examined young people’s experiences of family, school, community, services and informal supports and resources, relationships, risks and harm, understanding of health and wellbeing and what was most helpful in supporting positive change. With the young person’s permission, case file reviews were completed with up to 4 services identified by the young person. File reviews provided information about the service pathways of youth including why the service became involved, assessment and investigation processes, decision making, interventions completed, referral and case closure. Key issues in each case file overall were also identified, such as background factors related to referrals and need.

The quality of interactions practitioners have with youth matter more to outcomes than the numbers of interventions. High quality relationships build resilience and this produces better outcomes. Relational practices with characteristics such as genuine warmth, kindness and positive regard build capacity in young people. The more services that work in these ways with youth the better the outcomes are.
Specific practices that are important:• Youth are given clear information about services
and interventions• Encourage youth decision-making and meaningful involvement
that help build agency,• Services and interventions are relevant and demonstrate
understanding of the challenges youth face, • Identify and build on positive resources and relationships in
youth lives, • Respect youth culture and meaning systems and incorporate
cultural practices into interventions,• Allow sufficient time to build relationships, • Avoid episodic responses to crises that are embedded in longer-
term chronic issues,• Create opportunities that support the development of positive
identities,• Introduce safe adults who make an ongoing commitment to the
young person,• Interventions respond to practical and emotional needs• Build positive relationships with other practitioners while

maintaining focus on needs of young person.• Ecological approaches work well with this group of youth who bring a complex mix of challenges and needs and who
have often experienced a lot of instability and trauma.• All the adults involved with vulnerable youth work together and support each other to work constructively with youth.
This includes, parents, foster parents, support workers, teachers, youth workers and social workers.• In terms of youth justice, responses that address the wellbeing needs of youth alongside accountability issues appear
to assist with desistance.

THE PARTH MODEL – A MODEL OF EFFECTIVE PRACTICE WITH MULTI-SYSTEM YOUTH
Youth who come to services with high and complex risks:IndividualContextual Chronic Acute
And receive services that adopt PARTH practices:P = PERSEVERANCE and persistence understanding how risk, context and resilience shape youth behaviours, focus on youth, commit to staying the distance and support youth to realise their aspirations.A = ADAPTABILITY look for alternatives, change your interactions, reflect on what you are doing that works, and what doesn’t, and change what doesn’t. Adapt practice to enable youth test out new skills and support them to remain engaged in interventionsR = RELATIONSHIPS relational practice, focus on building relationship with youth, demonstrate caring and value. Affirm youth strengths and coping strategies.T = TIME qualities and quantity, length of interventions will vary depending on youth need, looking for critical or teachable moments. Take time to plan for positive encounters with youth and time to reflect on own practice.H = HONESTY does what they say they will do, honest about limitations to what can do, keeps youth informed.
Increase their resilience:IndividualRelationalContextual
In combination, these services and enhanced resilience build the capacity of these youth to be: CompetentConfidentConnectedCharacterCaringand Contributingmembers of society
