Parents of NEETs & Former NEETs 20s+ - Finding Work After NEET

Hello, I'm writing a sensitive, nuanced feature in The i Paper about NEETs (Not in Employment, Education or Training) - if you are a parent of one, who would like to talk about how tough it can be, and how your child found work in the end, I'd love to know. Or if you're in your 20s or beyond and have been NEET but then found a job, I'd love to hear from you, too. Or both - from parent perspective, and from the offspring's perspective too. This IS NOT about bashing or stigmatising young people, it's about the very real trickiness of being a parent and a young person in 2026, in this economy, and with the world as it is. I'd love to know how things improved for you! Hopefully it'll be relatable to other families, too. And you won't be the only ones in the piece, just one of a few. Thanks so much if so.
