What is risky behavior?

Risky behavior, or behavior that is difficult to understand, refers to actions that cause harm to the young person themselves or to their surrounding environment. Harm can occur to the physical (violent behavior towards objects, such as throwing or breaking items) or social environment (violence towards other people), or violent behavior may also manifest against oneself (e.g., cutting, suicide attempts, continuous use of addictive substances).

Why does a young person behave in a difficult-to-understand way, and what can be done about it?

No young person's behavior occurs without reason; through their actions, they are trying to convey something to us, and that behavior always has meaning, generally reflecting unmet needs.
