As a youth worker they would be able to empower the YP by a laissez faire approach and motivate the YP to help them regain control over their lives again. Young people are capable of making decisions and it would be an advantage to the YP to be equipped with enough information to support their decision making whilst giving them a safe space to feel normal being with their peers. The youth worker needs to be supportive, motivating and be able to stand back and watch the young person without intervention. This may be the wrong model to use if the young person has a drug addiction as well as being a Lesbian. This means the YP will need support in a different way that may mean a referral to another agency and non radical empowerment would be inappropriate. anno4 https://padlet.com/o_simons/b9w96fdt83r7/wish/204321228 2017-11-07 13:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/o_simons/b9w96fdt83r7/wish/204321228 rvrpdf https://padlet.com/o_simons/b9w96fdt83r7/wish/205131061 I would use a non-radical empowerment approach with youth people that don't need much motivation, guidance or support, and they have a good idea of what they want to do. As a youth worker, I would encourage them to make their own decisions and I would support them with what they decide to do. 
I would use a radical empowerment approach with youth that are not too confident, are unsure or cannot make adequate decisions. I would use conversation to challenge their views and guide them so they can make better choices. For instance, if a notice a young person might do something that gets him/her in trouble, I would engage in a conversation to explore the consequences of his/her actions.
