Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by profound changes, as individuals navigate their transition from childhood to adulthood. It is often seen as a time when young people develop some independence from their close familial networks, to unearth new relationships, opportunities and experiences in their wider environment (Viner et al., 2015). However, for many young people growing up in the context of crises, this is not the case, and instead they experience adolescence as a time when their opportunities diminish in the face of external constraints (Wringe et al., 2019; van Blerk et al., 2022).
