The invisible table

Lloyd Martin has given us the first youthwork methods text that focuses on a methodology grown out of the Aotearoa NZ experience. It is a text that is long overdue. Youthworkers and youthwork trainers and educators will appreciate the knowledge and information that Lloyd shares in the book.

The Invisible Table is a must-read, excellent resource with practical examples and useful tools for youthworkers, it is written from a New Zealand perspective and based on a youth development model, which is promoted through the Ministry of Youth Affairs. It includes a useful strategy for assessing risk and resiliency factors for a young person. Easy reading, it is a great training resource.

The Invisible Table weaves theory and practical insights into social inequality and working with youth into what will become a valuable resource for anyone who works alongside young people in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Lloyd's work among youth is known and respected in the Porirua community, and this book has grown out of that experience.
