## Resource

This week, Dave sits down with Aaron Hendry — youth worker and the force behind Kick Back — who has spent years standing alongside young people experiencing homelessness in Aotearoa. From running Front Door on K Road to supporting rangatahi with nowhere safe to go, Aaron has seen firsthand how easily young people fall through the cracks of our system. With the government now pushing these cruel "Move On" orders that target our most vulnerable people — Aaron explains why forcing people to move along won’t solve homelessness, and why compassion and community-led solutions are what actually change lives. A confronting and deeply human kōrero about youth homelessness, dignity, and what it means to stand up for those society too often ignores. Hosted on Acast.
