Just Like You (Trailer)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdwAsJzUXqU

• This trailer is a taster of a co-production task led by young people, resulting in the #JustLikeYou booklet and DVD, with support from the Ebara team at YCSA.
  
  The DVD provides a platform for young people and their family members to share their real life experiences of the criminal justice system and to pass on messages and advice to others. We hope that it will allow others to have an insight into the highs and lows, challenges and triumphs faced by these young men.
  
  The booklet showcases content such as photography, rap, poems and stories created by the young people.
  
  The #JustLikeYou booklet and DVD are available from YCSA as a resource for practitioners and young people.
  
  Our thanks to these young men and all who have contributed for their honesty and courage in sharing their stories.
