The Stigma Gap: Why Adults and Young People Aren’t Talking About the Same Thing
Adults play a distinct and powerful role in the stigmatisation of young people. We can no longer focus solely on changing peer norms while leaving adult-run systems untouched. At present, there are no dedicated interventions that target adult stigmatisation of youth, no campaigns, no training packages, no sector-wide efforts. That is a gap we can fix.
