The Relatives is a system of resources that helps youth find shelter and support in Charlotte, NC through housing, education resources, and career counseling to build their independence and confidence. In this episode, Trish Hobson, Executive Director of The Relatives, shares their mission, their holistic approach to support, and how you can get involved!

Resources mentioned: The Relatives Crisis Hotline - 704-377-0602 Some key takeaways from this episode include: There are several social systems that a child might be involved in, such as the Department of Social Services or the criminal justice system. Research shows that the more systems young people are in, the less likely that child will rise up and out of poverty. Having someone on your side, who truly believes in you, can make or break your likelihood of success. The mentors and caseworkers at The Relatives serve to be that positive encouragement in these young people’s lives. There is data to support that youth who have committed “survival crimes” completely ceased the criminal activity after they received housing and support from The Relatives. What else is possible when youth are given the support they need to thrive?
