John
DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL AWARENESS AND FUTURE FOCUS
Case Study – 002
“John chose to continue, demonstrating commitment to developing better emotional regulation skills.”
John, 21, entered the Youth Behaviour Change Project after an incident restraining his father during a
family argument. Having experienced verbal and physical abuse throughout childhood, John reacted to protect his sister during a heated financial dispute.
Though his charges were dropped early in the program, John chose to continue, demonstrating commitment to developing better emotional regulation skills. The YBCP connected him with Headspace for ongoing mental health support while building his capacity for healthy relationships.
After completing the program, John continues his university studies while working part-time. He maintains regular mental health support and is planning to move into independent housing with his sister, creating a foundation for their shared future.
