Becoming a valued member of society: the meaning of Art-Based vocational rehabilitation in the Norwegian labour and welfare service
Participation in ABVR reshaped young people's self-perceptions, their confidence in their abilities, and their sense of significance to others. Despite once living on the borders of society, they joined a community of like-minded peers, contributing value and feeling that they matter. Altogether, attending ABVR supported a sense of citizenship and mattering.
