The need for support: Young people living through a family health crisis
Young people living with a family health crisis are found to experience high levels of distress, anxiety, low mood and depressive symptoms and are at risk of becoming disengaged with education, socially isolated and uncertain regarding what the future will hold for them.
A body of research indicates that practical intervention, including youth work, engagement with other young people and targeted support can have a significant impact upon a young person’s capacity to cope with a complex family health crisis and develop self-reliant behaviours.
Despite the plethora of evidence to indicate the need for systems of support for children and young people experiencing a family health crisis, current provision across the UK is inconsistent, inequitable and not clearly underpinned by policy intervention. This study sets out to indicate the extent and nature of need of children and young people who are living with a family health crisis in Britain, the type of support they require and the ways in which Hope Support meets those needs

Metal-poor, Strongly Star-Forming Galaxies in the DEEP2 Survey: The Relationship between Stellar Mass, Temperature-based Metallicity, and Star Formation Rate
We report on the discovery of 28 metal-poor galaxies in DEEP2.
These galaxies were selected for their detection of the weak
[OIII]4363 emission line, which provides a "direct" measure of the
gas-phase metallicity. A primary goal for identifying these rare galaxies is to
examine whether the fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) between stellar
mass, gas metallicity, and star formation rate (SFR) holds for low stellar mass
and high SFR galaxies. The FMR suggests that higher SFR galaxies have lower
metallicity (at fixed stellar mass). To test this trend, we combine
spectroscopic measurements of metallicity and dust-corrected SFRs, with stellar
mass estimates from modeling the optical photometry. We find that these
galaxies are dex above the z~1 stellar mass-SFR relation, and
dex below the local mass-metallicity relation. Relative to the
FMR, the latter offset is reduced to 0.01 dex, but significant dispersion
remains (0.29 dex with 0.16 dex due to measurement uncertainties). This
dispersion suggests that gas accretion, star formation and chemical enrichment
have not reached equilibrium in these galaxies. This is evident by their short
stellar mass doubling timescale of Myr that suggests
stochastic star formation. Combining our sample with other z~1 metal-poor
galaxies, we find a weak positive SFR-metallicity dependence (at fixed stellar
mass) that is significant at 94.4% confidence. We interpret this positive
correlation as recent star formation that has enriched the gas, but has not had
time to drive the metal-enriched gas out with feedback mechanisms.Comment: Resubmitted to ApJ on March 6, 2015. Revised to discuss selection
biases and methodologies, and address the former by including more metal-rich
galaxies with robust non-detections of [OIII]4363. Primary results on FMR
analyses are unchanged. Additional figures are included to illustrate
selection biases; previous figures have been revised to improve presentatio
