For example, visual methods and spatial positioning techniques can be especially helpful for individuals who experience difficulties in verbally expressing their needs. When applied in a safe and supportive environment, creative methods encourage spontaneous and authentic self-expression.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8220;146564&#8243;]When assessing the needs of young people, it is <strong>essential to proceed with care<\/strong>, using <strong>gender-sensitive and inclusive language<\/strong>.
