    In this episode, we speak to MQI's Young Person Support Worker, Antoinette, and Elton, who is currently on our Young Person Creative Empowerment Programme.

    For the past 8 years, Antoinette has worked with young people aged just 18-25 who come to Merchants Quay. The aim of the Young Person's programme is to enable young people to address the core problems in their lives, link in with training, education and employment services, make a swift exit from homeless services, and move forward with a new purpose.
