Feasibility of Using Mobile Technology with Young Homeless Mothers
Adolescent mothers living in TLP settings in New York participated in a small qualitative study exploring whether a mobile app working in concert with ‘sensorbands’ that measure stress levels can be used to send timely messages aimed at improving emotion regulation. The app is part of a curriculum teaching young mothers to better navigate the stresses of parenting young children, and asks mothers to rate how they’re feeling in real-time, and provides support and self-regulation tips (Breathe!). Early results are promising and are described in the full article.

Understanding Youth Mobility in Order to Improve Services
Results from interviews with eight homeless service providers in New York’s Capital Region suggest that the high mobility of RHY may be an impulsive coping strategy related to limitations within the service system in small cities, suburbs and rural areas. Findings suggest that more emphasis on trauma-informed care, filling service gaps, and reducing policy barriers may help young people stay engaged in services over longer periods which can lead to better outcomes.
