Qualitative analysis reveals low utilization of counseling services among homeless adolescents, suggesting needed improvements.
Homelessness among adolescents in Dakar city centers has been a growing concern in Senegal's urban areas. A qualitative approach was employed to gather data from interviews with service providers and focus group discussions with adolescent clients in Dakar city centers. Despite efforts by social work organizations, there is a notable gap in service utilization among this vulnerable population. Enhanced community education campaigns and targeted outreach programmes are recommended to increase accessibility and usage of counseling services for homeless adolescents.
