'I slept in a hospital toilet': the UK's hidden youth homelessness crisis

Young people who become homeless often find themselves in a chain of misfortune, forced into unsafe situations with little help from the state. Thomas Korpiela, Ann O'Shea, Kirk Rogers and Brookemorgan Henry-Rennie share their experiences of dealing with mental health issues  and surviving on the streets. They describe how the charities Depaul and Centrepoint helped them get their lives back on track  • Help us break the chain.
